Dear all,

I am checking busybox utility, Is there any other package available
similar to busybox which  we can use in embedded system .

Thanks

This question is not kernel-related, so it shouldn't be posted on
linux-kernel <at>  or kernelnewbies <at> .

As an alternative to Busybox, you might want to have a look at
Embutils <http://www.fefe.de/embutils/> or probably the Toolbox thing
from Android. But none of them have the same amount of features that
Busybox has.

Oh, give me a break. "kernelnewbies", as in "newbie", as in don't know their way around yet.

It's a valid point that questions like this shouldn't go to linux-kernel, but if newbies can't post
questions to a newbies mailing list without fear of being chastised for it, then I don't what the list is for.

Sorry if my sentence felt offensive. I think the purpose of the newbies
mailing list is also for newbies to *learn* their way around, and
explaining that posting a question on the right mailing list is I think
important. I have no problem with "newbies" doing mistakes, otherwise I
wouldn't be subscribed on this list and I wouldn't reply to questions.
So, really, my statement was really for information, but I understand
that my wording might have been understood differently. Apologies if
that was the case.

Best regards,

Thomas

Dear Friends thanks for reply,

I post on Kernel newbies since i could not found any good place to post.
We do not want to use busybox due to its licence and security issue.
So is there any alternate to busybox ..

Thanks

What security issue are you concerned about? Can you explain your
concern a little more.

Also, if you have some busybox specific question, ppl on the busybox
mailing list will be able to help you better.

I don't know anything about it, but I've recently heard  mention of
toybox as an alternative to busybox because of its BSD-type license:
