Description Kyle M Hall 2015-09-25 15:26:22 UTC 
When koha-shell is invoked in Debian Wheezy, ctrl-c does not just kill the command you are running, it kills the koha shell itself. This is because koha-shell acts as a command rather than a shell. If koha-shell were to use su - to become the koha user, this would not happen.

Is there a specific reason koha-shell does not use su to change the user, rather than changing the uid and gid?

I don't think so. Did you try changing koha-shell like you propose? I would happily test a patch for that :-D

It does use su.
