Introduction to ASH

ash is a shell that is the most compliant with the Bourne Shell (not to be confused with Bourne Again SHell i.e., Bash installed in CLFS) without any additional features. Bourne Shell is available on most commercial UNIX systems. Hence ash is useful for testing scripts to be sh-compliant. It also has small memory and space requirements compared to the other sh-compliant shells.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

patch -Np1 -i ../ash-0.4.0-cumulative_fixes-2.patch &&
make

Install the package

install -v -m 755 sh /bin/ash &&

If you would like to make ash the default sh shell, make a symlink.

ln -v -sf ash /bin/sh
