Hi, bashisms aside, there are still some differences with considerable consequences. I don't have a good example at hand, but even minimal differences of the output could become an issue when porting scripts. $ /bin/busybox ls -hl .xsession-errors -rw------- 1 rocketmo rocketmo 5.7K Dec 5 16:21 .xsession-errors • rocketmouse@archlinux ~ $ /bin/ls -hl .xsession-errors -rw------- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 5.7K Dec 5 16:21 .xsession-errors • rocketmouse@archlinux ~ $ /bin/busybox ls -hl .xsession-errors | grep mouse • rocketmouse@archlinux ~ $ /bin/ls -hl .xsession-errors | grep mouse -rw------- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 5.9K Dec 5 16:46 .xsession-errors As I said, I don't have a good example at hand, but I remember feeling like I was on FreeBSD, where everything is almost the same, but with tiny differences that extremely hinder the workflow.
