recsh Command
Purpose
Invokes the recovery shell.
Syntax
recsh
Description
When the libc.a library
is moved or renamed, an error message Killed will
be displayed from the shell as there is no libc.a library available
for the system to load and run the utilities. The recsh command
invokes recovery shell, which provides the ability to rename libc.a library
if it is accidently moved. It uses an alternative libc.a library
that is shipped with the system.
Note: This is a recovery shell
and users should not use recsh as default shell.
Examples
- If libc.a is renamed accidentally then the system will be in an
unstable state where in execution of any utility will not be possible.
To recover at this point, type:
recsh; cp -p libc.a.new /usr/lib/libc.a; exit
Location
/usr/bin/recsh
