mksh workalike (Score: 2, Interesting) by evilviper@pipedot.org on 2014-09-25 11:44 (#2SX5) If you don't need quite all the bash-isms, mksh is a great lightweight replacement, which is almost entirely drop-in compatible:* http://mirbsd.de/mkshI prefer mksh primarily because bash goes horribly brain-dead when you attempt line-editing on command lines that wrap-around to the next line. Your bash session becomes practically unusable after you hit that limit (which I do, often) and it first wigs-out:* http://i.imgur.com/Vo2BQq2.pngIt doesn't hurt that the mksh binary is 3.4X smaller, starts-up faster, is more responsive, can be statically linked, and doesn't hold open 28 files, all of which matters a lot in a minimal system recovery type situation.

How wonderfully oldschool (and non-UTF). If Aterm had only gotten utf support I'd still be using it now.
