Well, I was thinking about being able to shutdown or
reboot the machine by sending signals to PID1. I am
however aware it's debatable if that can still be
considered a sane concept in the 21st century.

And TBH, starting a shell from init via a call to
system() is an ugly hack to say the least. Probably
okay for a proof-of-concept throw-away kludge, but
nothing more.
