# Using Busybox as your Default Shell with OpenRC
|
||||
|
||||
If you have/bin/sh linked to busybox, you need to be aware of several
|
||||
incompatibilities between busybox's applets and the standalone
|
||||
counterparts. Since it is possible to configure busybox to not include
|
||||
these applets or to prefer the standalone counterparts, OpenRC does not
|
||||
attempt to support the busybox applets.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, it is recommended that you disable the following busybox
|
||||
configuration settings for best results with OpenRC.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_START_STOP_DAEMON -- The start-stop-daemon applet is not compatible with
|
||||
start-stop-daemon in OpenRC.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_MOUNT -- The mount applet does not support the -O [no]_netdev options to
|
||||
skip over or include network file systems when the -a option is present.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_UMOUNT -- The umount applet does not support the -O option along with -a.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_SWAPONOFF -- The swapon applet does not support the -e option
|
||||
or recognize the nofail option in fstab.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_SETFONT -- The setfont applet does not support the -u option from kbd.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_IP -- The ip applet doesn't support the "scope" modifier for
|
||||
"ip route add" and "ip address add".
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_BB_SYSCTL -- The sysctl applet does not support the --system command
|
||||
line switch.
|
||||
|
||||
There is work to get most of these supported by busybox, so this file
|
||||
will be updated as things change.
