determining if user has shell access

[Phil Davis]

  Another thought - I remember from my Unix days that you can put "&" at the end 
of a line command to make it run in the background and make it non-blocking. Of 
course you have to redirect its output to a text file. Would that work here? 
(Probably not on Windows though.)

Just throwing it against the wall to see if it sticks...
