Hi all, I've played a lot with shells recently and I've noticed one thing: There is no way to launch shell without launching shell! It bugs me a lot since we end up with shellception eating resources. So, this is my suggestion:
create a way to make local shells. It is how I imagine it:
- in bios.lua: check if file "shell" exists
- If yes - launch this file, if not - launch original shell
And profits:
- A way to protect from running "startup" on disk drives
- Proper OSes
- And more that I can't think of.
I hope you will like it :)/>

why do you want to make local shells? you can just modify the current shell, creating a script on startup?
i dont see anything good in this suggest :(/>

I like the Idea :)/>/>
I had something like this a week ago and tried to do it.
With something like this on the top of the standard shell
if fs.exist("shell") then
shell.exit()
shell.run("shell")
else
--The other shell crap
end
:]
