Finally figured out how to enable basic job control(via Ctrl+D, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z) and reading /etc/profile in #Floppinux : run "sh -l -m".

This now enables me to try writing a crude but functional service manager for Floppinux in shell script.

I've got another #Floppinux #Linux puzzle to solve.

I'm thinking of writing a crude service manager in shell script, but Floppinux doesn't have the fg, bg, or kill commands. But you can run a command in the background by adding the "&" at the end, and you can set traps to run on receiving specific signals. Is there a way to kill a command without the kill command? Is there something within /proc/$pid/ I can poke at to very manually trigger process termination?

@whitequark consider #toybox if it has what you need.

https://landley.net/toybox

Granted it doesn't have #telnet and the head maintainer @landley explicitly endorsed #dropbear (a lightweight #SSH server & client) instead, but in my experiements ( @OS1337, based off @w84death 's #Floppinux ) allowed me to quickly cobble together a <1.440kB boot image (incl. >200kB for #ISOLINUX alone!) that does an 80×25 MDA console both on VGA & Serial (@ 9600/8/N1)…

I hope that helps you...
