You can copy it to /bin/shell and use it instead of /bin/bash for your emergency shell. It provides for terminal control, plus it protects against exit because it does its work from a fork()ed process and if that exits another is fork()ed forever. It has been tested and works, however after you do your emergency stuff, you can't (correctly) exec /sbin/init as you could with bash alone, because the executing task does not have PID=1. Instead, you will have to manually unmount any file-systems you mounted, then reboot using Ctr-Alt-Del. Cheers, Dick Johnson Penguin : Linux version 2.6.16.4 on an i686 machine (5592.88 BogoMips).
