There's an alternate way to handle that, as recommended by Digital Man.  In
your .js shell, you can check for whether the user changed their shell and exit
if so, as follows:

user.cached = false;
var oldShell = user.command_shell;
bbs.user_config();
user.cached = false;
bbs.user_sync();
if (user.command_shell != oldShell)
   exit(0);

That's how I'm doing it in my .js shell, and the only thing I do in my Baja is
simply run my .js script, and it is able to support changing shells.
