Description

That's it, could Void's Runit scripts get support for a more POSIX set of programs such as Busybox's? I am on a journey to make an embedded friendly spin of Void, everything works(well, mostly), yet the only part that fails without the coreutils is Runit and /usr/bin/modules-load. Thanks!

Research direction

Read the issue discussion first, then inspect the Void Runit scripts and /usr/bin/modules-load to identify which coreutils commands they require. Compare those requirements with the POSIX and BusyBox environment described in the issue; done means the relevant scripts work without the coreutils package, though the issue does not define exact acceptance tests.
