/bin/dash is a shell in the EPEL repository:
Name : dash
Arch : x86_64
Version : 0.5.10.2
Release : 1.el7
Size : 91 k
Repo : epel/x86_64
Summary : Small and fast POSIX-compliant shell
Description : DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims
to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where
possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU
Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.
If you don't want (or can't) install it, you could probably get away with
linking /bin/sh or /bin/bash to /bin/dash.

Subject: xymon log contains hundreds of errors regarding /bin/dash
Im sure ive seen an answer to this online before but cannot find it now!
xymon client version: xymon-client-4.3.30-1.el7.x86_64
the xymonclient.log has multiple entries
nohup: failed to run command '/bin/dash': No such file or directory
its clearly not a biggy as xymon does what we need it to do. This just
creates a lot of "nosie" in the logs and ends up with a woods for trees
scenario.
there is no /bin/dash unsurprisingly... is it just a case of creating a
softlink of /bin/dash fropm eg /bin/bash ?
Or is there soemthing else going on here?
cheers
