Is there a service in L4 packages like shell in Linux?

Why don't you just use an Linux shell for creating linux processes, like
bash?  It does not seem to make much sense creating linux processes from
outside L4Linux?

There are external shells for Drops, but they are mostly used for
interacting with the L4 system, not the inner workings of L4Linux.  Have
a look here:

  pkg/loader/examples/run
  pkg/little_shell  (I don't know if this is available externally)

  pkg/l4vfs/term_server  (a basis for little_shell)

And then there are L4Linux tools to start L4 tasks:

  pkg/loader/examples/run-l4
