The ash shell is the most bash compatible and full featured one.

Note that selecting this option does not switch on any bash
|
|
compatibility code. It merely makes it possible to install
|
|
/bin/bash (sym)link and run scripts which start with
|
|
#!/bin/bash line.
|
|
|
|
Many systems use it in scripts which use bash-specific features,
|
|
even simple ones like $RANDOM. Without this option, busybox
|
|
can't be used for running them because it won't recongnize
|
|
"bash" as a supported applet name.

This option causes busybox shells to use busybox applets
|
|
in preference to executables in the PATH whenever possible. For
|
|
example, entering the command 'ifconfig' into the shell would cause
|
|
busybox to use the ifconfig busybox applet. Specifying the fully
|
|
qualified executable name, such as '/sbin/ifconfig' will still
|
|
execute the /sbin/ifconfig executable on the filesystem. This option
|
|
is generally used when creating a statically linked version of busybox
|
|
for use as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system.
|
|
|
|
This is implemented by re-execing /proc/self/exe (typically)
|
|
with right parameters. Some selected applets ("NOFORK" applets)
|
|
can even be executed without creating new process.
|
|
Instead, busybox will call <applet>_main() internally.
|
|
|
|
However, this causes problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc
|
|
and with ps/top (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets
|
|
started this way).
|
|
# untrue?
|
|
# Note that this will *also* cause applets to take precedence
|
|
# over shell builtins of the same name. So turning this on will
|
|
# eliminate any performance gained by turning on the builtin "echo"
|
|
# and "test" commands in ash.
|
|
# untrue?
|
|
# Note that when using this option, the shell will attempt to directly
|
|
# run '/bin/busybox'. If you do not have the busybox binary sitting in
|
|
# that exact location with that exact name, this option will not work at
|
|
# all.

config FEATURE_SH_NOFORK

help
|
|
This option causes busybox shells to not execute typical
|
|
fork/exec/wait sequence, but call <applet>_main directly,
|
|
if possible. (Sometimes it is not possible: for example,
|
|
this is not possible in pipes).
|
|
|
|
This will be done only for some applets (those which are marked
|
|
NOFORK in include/applets.h).
|
|
|
|
This may significantly speed up some shell scripts.
|
|
|
|
This feature is relatively new. Use with care. Report bugs
|
|
to project mailing list.
