But instead of shadowing an external command with a shell function (I<br>
thought of it too, but it is definitely dirty), why not define a<br>

that does exactly what its name says, and that can in turn be<br>
implemented in two different ways depending on the shell?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>You mean depending on the available mkdir, not depending on the shell. The situation you're running into here is that busybox's mkdir doesn't support -v. Hence the above suggestion. </div>
