Thanks for your scrupulous attitude. $ ls -l /bin/sh /bin/bash /bin/dash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1029624 Aug 22 05:15 /bin/bash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 117176 Jan 10 2014 /bin/dash lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 13 17:48 /bin/sh -> /bin/bash
Now it is sane, the mistake came at the first place was due to my slip in treating 'ln -sf /bin/sh /bin/bash' and then I realized that mistakes but unconsciously still possess enough amount of intuition to repeat this mistake. Have a nice weekend, P.S. I have some lousy code, which complained the 'sh: Syntax error: Bad fd number', which drove me to compromise to link the sh with the bash, not dash.
