Well, I was thinking about being able to shutdown or 
reboot the machine by sending signals to PID1.  I am 
however aware it's debatable if that can still be 
considered a sane concept in the 21st century.

And TBH, starting a shell from init via a call to 
system() is an ugly hack to say the least. Probably 
okay for a proof-of-concept throw-away kludge, but 
nothing more.
