The original vision for OpenRC was that it should be posix compliant. Please don't revert to using bash features because it creates a dependency on bash that then makes it hard to support "small" platforms such as busybox At present OpenRC works very nicely on a minimal (embedded) system using uclibc/busybox in a couple of MB. Its also decently fast and "oldnet" actually seems to work quite nicely for a headless, but heavily dynamic environment like a router with USB things getting plugged/unplugged Thanks for listening...
