Judging by the reaction of the kids at work, what you did is already unmaintainable.
Plus, if you are running shell out of necessity on a constrained system, that doesn't mean shell deserves to be a programming language where there's actual choice.

C/C++ ? > where there's actual choice. again what choice? :) as I said there is no other solution than what I've given. the system literally doesn't have anything else regardless what "I think" it should support.
