Almquist shell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Almquist shell (ash) is Kenneth Almquist's clone of the Bourne shell. It is a fast, small, POSIX-compatible Unix shell. Ash is useful for running shell scripts, but it does not feature job control or other features that other interactive shells such as bash and ksh offer.
