Hey DM,

How do you change shell while still logged in?

In my (custom) shell - I'm calling both bbs.user_config(), and both an eval(cmd) [where cmd=bbs.user_config()], and it appears to update the user's details, but I'm still in my shell until the user logs out.

(I was looking (and trying to copy) how it is being doing in classic_shell.js but I must be missing something.)

IE: If a user chooses to change shell, I was hoping that would be effective immediately, not having to logout and in.
...ëîå*

Yes, that's how it normally works. You might need to exit() or "return" from your JS shell for a new (possibly non-JS) shell to be reloaded.

Yes, I was thinking along those lines - but I couldnt see how you did that in class_shell.js (but I will admit I wasnt looking hard into the code).

Thanks...
