hush is a very small shell (just 18k) and it has fairly complete

- lash is the very smallest shell (adds just 10k) and it is quite
- usable as a command prompt, but it is not suitable for any but the
- most trivial scripting (such as an initrd that calls insmod a few
- times) since it does not understand any Bourne shell grammar. It
- does handle pipes, redirects, and job control though. Adding in
- command editing makes it a very nice lightweight command prompt.
-
+ lash is deprecated and will be removed, please migrate to hush.

+ This option causes busybox shells [currently only ash]
+ to not execute typical fork/exec/wait sequence, but call <applet>_main
+ directly, if possible. (Sometimes it is not possible: for example,
+ this is not possible in pipes).
+

+ help
+ One common problem reported on the mailing list is "can't access tty;
+ job control turned off" error message which typically appears when
+ one tries to use shell with stdin/stdout opened to /dev/console.
+ This device is special - it cannot be a controlling tty.
+
+ Proper solution is to use correct device instead of /dev/console.
+
+ cttyhack provides "quick and dirty" solution to this problem.
+ It analyzes stdin with various ioctls, trying to determine whether
+ it is a /dev/ttyN or /dev/ttySN (virtual terminal or serial line).
+ If it detects one, it closes stdin/out/err and reopens that device.
+ Then it executes given program. Usage example for /etc/inittab
+ (for busybox init):
+
+ ::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh
