for com in `cat bb.txt`; do if ! which $com > /dev/null; then ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/sbin/$com; fi; done

To get the "better" v1.00 utils without stepping on the preferred utils: 1. install the latest BusyBox with no links using ipkg install busybox-base 2. dump all the v1.00 BusyBox commands into a single line text file; I did /opt/bin/busybox > bb.txt and edited the file. 3. run this bash line to make symlinks for only those unused BusyBox commands:

for com in `cat bb.lst`; do if ! which $com > /dev/null; then ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/sbin/$com; fi; done

Slingbox

If your command is available, then you only have to make a symbolic link like this:
"ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/sbin/the_command_you_want" \\

"/opt/bin/busybox the_command_you_want" \\

"/opt/bin/busybox the_command_you_want"

The only reason for slingbox is the installation of unslung. It shouldn't be used for anything else.

You can test the available commands like this:
"/opt/bin/busybox the_command_you_want" \\ If your command is available, then you only have to make a symbolic link like this: \\ "ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/sbin/the_command_you_want" \\

"/opt/bin/busybox the_command_you_want"\\

"ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/sbin/the_command_you_want"\\ choosing /opt/bin or /opt/sbin in the second argument depending on the command.

"/opt/bin/busybox the_command_you_want"\\
If your command is available, then you only have to make a symbolic link like this:\\ "ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/sbin/the_command_you_want"\\
choosing /opt/bin or /opt/sbin in the second argument depending on the command.\\

You can test the available commands like this:
"/opt/bin/busybox the_command_you_want"
If your command is available, the you only have to make a symbolic link like this:
"ln -s /opt/bin/busybox /opt/sbin/the_command_you_want"

Then you can manually add the link(s) you want. Note that the default busybox installation(0.60) is located in /bin/busybox and the new one is in /opt/bin/busybox.

Slinbox

The only reason for slingbox is the installation of unslung. It shouldn't be used for anything else.

By default you already have a working busybox 0.6, which is the default Linksys one. There is a newer version (1.0) available - however, there is no need to jump on the band wagon. In short: 1.0 brings some new utils. But clashes with other, better packages.

The reason is not that 1.0 is not great, but that there are better versions of the same utilities in packages like procps and coreutils, so unless you're really pressed for space, I suggest you go with them (e.g. top is way better in procps).

Take a look below, which lists all applets, and if there is a util or two in 1.0 you want, you have a second option: ipkg install busybox-base, which only installs busybox 1.0 without the conflicting links. Then you can manually add the link(s) you want.

Answer:

"...BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux KernelConf? based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel), Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development work and testing of thousands of people from around the world."
