See other postings by Mike C. and me for REXX examples. Also, you may want to run a console shell of some sort. Mike K. has one, and I believe there are others. Mine is included here (sans the /etc/inittab change required): #!/bin/sh # # # Date: 2000-Sep-16 (Sun) # # # # argument #1 can be a console filespec: CONSOLE="$1" if [ -z "$CONSOLE" ] ; then CONSOLE=/dev/console ; fi # # set the prompt string: PS1=`hostname` #PS1="$PS1 # " PS1="$PS1 \\\$ " export PS1 # # set the shell to something safe: SHELL=/bin/sh if [ -x /sbin/sh ] ; then SHELL=/sbin/sh ; fi # # add a couple important things to command search PATH var: if [ -d /usr/bin/X11 ] ; then PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin/X11" ; fi if [ -d /usr/local/bin ] ; then PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin" ; fi export PATH # # now run that shell: exec $SHELL -i 0<$CONSOLE 1>$CONSOLE 2>$CONSOLE
