Do you know what a shell fork bomb is?
ok...let me tell you...
its when your system endlessly replicates tasks , runs out of memory, and becomes unmanageable
for a visual analogy, think of the film "Runaway Train" with Jon Voight
The guv doesn't know it, but hidden in his scripts there is a bomb.
I tried to install the wpupgrade / wpsafe bash codes, so I added them to my previous bash file, inputted the source command.. and hey presto..I had a shell fork bomb
not a nice way to end an otheriwse successful install
