Yes. And it's interaction with other parts of the system.

They do that too. Understand, the LONG term goal is to be able to
eliminate the need for the shell. Anytime you have to go to the shell to
accomplish something you should open a case with JTAC so the feature can be
added to the CLI.

If you run out of memory due to a shell-tool memory leak, you are out of
memory for everything. If your shell-tool starts sucking all the CPU then
routing updates may not get done in a timely fashion. Part of our tuning
is to make sure the existing tools can't do this to us. Your tools?
