We seem to have a communication problem here. It *is* default behaviour. Completely unmodified current svn does this: $ cp Makefile.help /dev/tty # ========================================================================== # Build system # ========================================================================== help: ... See? It didn't unlink /dev/tty. It opened it and wrote Makefile.help's contents to it. This patch will be in 1.7.1: http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.7.0/busybox-1.7.0-cp.patch As I understand it, the change you requested is already done. If I misunderstand you, please clarify.
