Description

Changes the system /bin/sh link to use dash as the default POSIX shell. It is useful for administrators who intentionally want faster dash-based shell script execution or Debian-like shell behavior.

Changing /bin/sh can break scripts that incorrectly depend on bash features. Audit local scripts and keep a recovery path before changing the system shell link.
