Tha 'ash' shell adds about 60k in the default configuration and is
the most complete and most pedantically correct shell included with
busybox. This shell is actually a derivative of the Debian 'dash'
shell (by Herbert Xu), which was created by porting the 'ash' shell
(written by Kenneth Almquist) from NetBSD.

hush is a very small shell (just 18k) and it has fairly complete
Bourne shell grammar. It even handles all the normal flow control
options such as if/then/elif/else/fi, for/in/do/done, while loops,
etc.
It does not handle case/esac, select, function, here documents ( <<
word ), arithmetic expansion, aliases, brace expansion, tilde
expansion, &> and >& redirection of stdout+stderr, etc.

config HUSH_INTERACTIVE

Without this, hush simply reads and executes commands
from stdin just like a shell script from the file.
No prompt, no PS1/PS2 magic shell variables.
config HUSH_JOB

default n

help
Enable job control: Ctrl-Z backgrounds, Ctrl-C interrupts current
command (not entire shell), fg/bg builtins work. Without this option,
"cmd &" still works by simply spawning a process and immediately
prompting for next command (or executing next command in a script),
but no separate process group is formed.

help
The minix shell (adds just 30k) is quite complete and handles things
like for/do/done, case/esac and all the things you expect a Bourne
shell to do. It is not always pedantically correct about Bourne
shell grammar (try running the shell testscript "tests/sh.testcases"
on it and compare vs bash) but for most things it works quite well.
It also uses only vfork, so it can be used on uClinux systems.

help
This option causes busybox shells to use busybox applets
in preference to executables in the PATH whenever possible. For
example, entering the command 'ifconfig' into the shell would cause
busybox to use the ifconfig busybox applet. Specifying the fully
qualified executable name, such as '/sbin/ifconfig' will still
execute the /sbin/ifconfig executable on the filesystem. This option
is generally used when creating a statically linked version of busybox
for use as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system.
This is implemented by re-execing /proc/self/exe (typically)
with right parameters. Some selected applets ("NOFORK" applets)
can even be executed without creating new process.
Instead, busybox will call <applet>_main() internally.
However, this causes problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc
and with ps/top (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets
started this way).
# untrue?
# Note that this will *also* cause applets to take precedence
# over shell builtins of the same name. So turning this on will
# eliminate any performance gained by turning on the builtin "echo"
# and "test" commands in ash.
# untrue?
# Note that when using this option, the shell will attempt to directly
# run '/bin/busybox'. If you do not have the busybox binary sitting in
# that exact location with that exact name, this option will not work at
# all.

config CTTYHACK
bool "cttyhack"
default n
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
