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
