`SHell`

Invoke a system dependent shell

SHell

Shortest form: sh.

Run a command in the operating-system shell, or start an interactive shell.

With arguments: they are joined with spaces (up to 8191 characters) and run by /bin/sh. The diag shell has already split the line at ; and removed quotes, so quote shell syntax for the diag shell first.
Without arguments: start $SHELL (default /bin/sh) interactively; exit it to return.

The command runs as root inside the syncd container. The diag shell waits until it finishes, and the command’s exit status is ignored.

At the drivshell> prompt, the exact line sh and any line starting with she are refused as blocked, so shell … does not work there. But sh <command> does, because sh is the shortest form of SHell.
