Place the following in your LOGIN.COM file:

$ df == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ cd == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ ls == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ find == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ grep == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ od == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ cat == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ vi == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ kill == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ rm == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"
$ mv == "pipe write sys$output ""CORE DUMP!"" ; def/use libots librtl ; dir"

and so on...
