RUT240 shell ash/bash

Hi.

Simple question:

What is the shell on RUT240 (with latest FW)?

I see ash.

Looking for bash mentioned in the changelog.

Cheers!

Greetings, pompfe,

The RUT240 runs RutOS, which is based on OpenWrt, and uses BusyBox as its core utility set. This means the default shell is ash (Almquist Shell).

Although bash is mentioned in some changelogs, it isn’t included in the RUT240 firmware. Those notes likely refer to shared updates across multiple devices or internal build environment changes.

You can always reach downloads and changelog of RUT240 here:

In short — what you’re seeing is correct: the RUT240 uses ash, not bash.

Best regards,
V.
