Jon, have you ever bothered to look at the doc file that comes with NickelMenu? Do you recognize the following lines from that file? Did you know that if you remove the #s from the start of the line, it uncomments them?
Code:
#
# menu_item :main :Telnet :cmd_spawn :quiet:/bin/mount -t devpts | /bin/grep -q /dev/pts || { /bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts && /bin/mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts; }
# chain_success :cmd_spawn :quiet:/usr/bin/pkill -f "^/usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1023" || true && exec /usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1023 /usr/sbin/telnetd -i -l /bin/login
# chain_success :dbg_toast :Started Telnet server on port 1023.
#
# menu_item :main :FTP :cmd_spawn :quiet:/usr/bin/pkill -f "^/usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1021" || true && exec /usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1021 /usr/sbin/ftpd -w -t 30 /mnt/onboard
# chain_success :dbg_toast :Started FTP server for KOBOeReader partition on port 1021.
