Recently I have been tinkering with one of my boxes to use ash as
/bin/sh and noticed that doing so some SlackBuilds aren't working as
intended anymore.

I'll leave the question of whether this needs a mass patch at SBo to
the SBo admins.  If it doesn't, I'll quietly update my SlackBuilds the
next time they need revision for other reasons.

Slackware assumes and requires that the root user uses bash as the default shell. Not just SlackBuild scripts but the init scripts will not all work the full 100% when using a limited version like ash.

We are not going to demand or execute a mass patch here at SlackBuilds.org - we keep assuming that /bin/sh is linked to /bin/bash .

Cheers, Eric
