Description Ortwin Glueck 2011-10-18 15:39:55 UTC

runscript.sh does not work with /bin/sh from busybox (ash). It fails because ash does not support the "command" command. I think the script expects to be run with bash. So it should either be fixed to be compatible with POSIX shells or require bash.

Reproduce:
1. ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/sh
2. run some init script

"command" is defined in POSIX. See man 1p command.

So the busybox guys should enable this in the default gentoo config instead.
Not a OpenRC bug.

Feel free to CC openrc@gentoo.org if you think there's more that we (openrc) can do.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
