   In this case, though, it is not.  He was talking about an init script
which, at least in my point of view, should only use #!/bin/sh.  There was a
discussion a while ago of keeping the system scripts as shell neutral as
possible.  In that context, changing /bin/sh to point to ash, or ksh, is the
same as removing.

    My apologies for being unclear on the concept I was trying to convey.
