I would to anser to the message
http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2005-August/015702.html
of Rob. Because I have subscribed the list only a few minutes
ago I'm only able to post a new thread.
Sorry.


I have thougth about Robs remarks and have 2 solutions:

1.)
busybox knows allways all possible applets it may support.
All calls with non implemented applet names generates an
error message: "applet xxx is not compiled into busybox".

2.)
A more restrictive solution:

The main busybox applet is only called, when the name begins
with 'busybox'. Because of this, busybox names like 'busybox1'
or 'busybox-new' works well and we have not unwanted results
if busybox called with something like 'ls rm -r /'.


I prefer the second one.

Dirk
