...although "hate" is a strong word, I have been tripped up numerous
times in the past by writing a script on my development host only to
find it doesn't work on my target device due to the restrictions of the
various busybox executables. The "embedded" system of today is the
desktop system of only a couple years ago. The only place busybox (and
toybox) are needed today are in the MMU-less-type systems, such as
Cortex-Ms etc.
