No, we are still using the latest available ASH because none of the others seem to work. BB-ash still has some problems with our scripts and we are currently working on Dash, although there are some other places where scripting seems also to be broken. It is really just a matter of choosing the 'right' shell and change everything accordingly. p.s. I ask in advance to be forgiven if i'm making any major mistake...
