So many possibilities, and personally I am glad the emergency option is available.

Btw placing a emergency.sh in a certain directory is not unlike placing an update*bin in a certain directory..
If the user can't handle placing a certain script in a certain directory, then that same user would also not be able to change the fonts or the screensavers.
just saying..

And yes, not every user can write (safe) shell scripts. I totally agree with that!
