I'm beginning to think that is the only usable solution.

But hacking all my scripts to add busybox<space> will make them
unreadable and take ages. And sometime I'd forget, or the next programmer
would.

I could try now and forever to identify when it matters and when it
doesn't, but that's too much overhead.

I think installing the new busybox version with my app, and hacking the
path as seen by my app is the only acceptable route.

I actually have a script set-standard-path.sh, which I have to invoke in
the OpenVPN call-back scripts, as they start with no path set. So I'd
just have to do that anywhere and everywhere at the start of all scripts.

I use a common preamble included into all my scripts, so I can add it
there.

My isn't this fun :-)
