Why would you even need a separate process to spawn the shell? /bin/bash is a perfectly capable init that can reap zombies, start processes, do any interactive tasks, or be automated (.bashrc, trap EXIT, etc). Specifying init=/bin/bash via grub on the cmdline is a common rescue technique for systems with a broken init. Guess what init implementation needs to be rescued this way most often... -- An imaginary friend squared is a real enemy. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
