You can find the help at

This allows one to write linuxconf modules using shell scripts. You can
also write standalone utilities with that. The nice thing is that a simple
shell script will have both a text and GUI interface. I am including a
small shellmod script. This script pops a dialog where you enter a
directory path and a number of days and it will pops a list of all files
in that directory which have not been accessed since that amount of days.
This script is a standalone script (just execute it) and a modules as
well. It registers in the Miscellaneous service menu in linuxconf.
You can even write co-managers with shellmod. A simple shell script can
augment the user account dialog for example with new fields and
validations.
Enjoy!
