/bin/dash is a shell in the EPEL repository:
Name : dash Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.5.10.2 Release : 1.el7 Size : 91 k Repo : epel/x86_64 Summary : Small and fast POSIX-compliant shell Description : DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.
If you don't want (or can't) install it, you could probably get away with linking /bin/sh or /bin/bash to /bin/dash.

xymon client version: xymon-client-4.3.30-1.el7.x86_64
the xymonclient.log has multiple entries
nohup: failed to run command '/bin/dash': No such file or directory
its clearly not a biggy as xymon does what we need it to do. This just creates a lot of "nosie" in the logs and ends up with a woods for trees scenario.
there is no /bin/dash unsurprisingly... is it just a case of creating a softlink of /bin/dash fropm eg /bin/bash ?
Or is there soemthing else going on here?
cheers
