Unadvertised sh(1) feature?

[jlw at ariel.UUCP]

Actually the purpose of -osh is that it is distributed without the
shell timeout feature enabled.  If you look at /usr/src/cmd/sh/timeout.h
you will find a constant which is typically 1200 to 1800 to 3600
seconds until timeout.  If this is set to 0 timeout is disabled.
The reason it is disabled for the operators is that they have
many machines to operate and having to relog in for each of
the widely separated commands thay use would be a pain in the neck.
