Hey folks,
I'm trying to run a script in openWrt, but now only I get to know that it doesn't have bash. So, how to run that script ?
Thanks
opkg update
opkg install bash

Is there any other way to run without installing bash
Sure there is: Use the OpenWrt built in shell (ash).
Be aware that running a bash script on a non-bash shell might lead to unexpected results (aka: "Help, it doesn't work!").

For simple scripts, you will not notice the difference beteween ash and bash. Ash is a leightweigth clone of bash. You can also use the WebUI to start the script at bootup if that is what you want.
