As I stated in my initial email, when running awk from a subshell it works. I know PID=1 is special, and for one, it can't be straced or debugged. PATH isn't empty since busybox ash sets it to some value, but PATH at least _should_ be irrelevant, since awk is NOEXEC applet. And finally, it isn't a solution to run it from a subshell, since running awk from within /init in initramfs is a valid usage case. Thanks for trying, /mjt _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
