It does handle pipes, redirects, and -job control though. Adding in command editing makes it a very nice -lightweight command prompt. - -hush is also quite small (just 18k) and it has very complete Bourne shell -grammer. It handles if/then/else/fi just fine, but doesn't handle loops -like for/do/done or case/esac and such. It also currently has a problem -with job control. Using hush is not yet recommended. - -msh: The minix shell (adds just 30k) is quite complete and handles things -like for/do/done, case/esac and all the things you expect a Bourne shell to -do. It is not always pedantically correct about Bourne shell grammer (try -running the shell testscript "tests/sh.testcases" on it and compare vs bash) -but for most things it works quite well. It also uses only vfork, so it can -be used on uClinux systems. This was only recently added, so there is still -room to shrink it further... - -ash: This adds about 60k in the default configuration and is the most -complete and most pedantically correct shell included with busybox. This -shell was also recently added, and several people (mainly Vladimir and Erik) -have been working on it. There are a number of configurable things at the -top of ash.c as well, so check those out if you want to tweak things. - ----------------- - Getting help: When you find you need help, you can check out the BusyBox mailing list |
