This works in both bash and dash: arf$ bash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR VAR=1 arf$ dash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR VAR=1 But the variables are not propagated through a function in dash: arf$ bash -c 'f() { "$@" }; VAR=1 f "env"' | grep VAR VAR=1 arf$ dash -c 'f() { "$@" }; VAR=1 f "env"' | grep VAR Fix constructs like this, in particular, setting variables through test_must_fail.
