/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.

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
