Agreed, I would recommend that.

Not perfekt, but simply use "sleep" with a very high number of seconds
(86400 is one day, so use 31536000 for about a year, or higher).
Of course, you can also set the sleep command as default shell, so
that it is executed automatically, but this is a matter of taste,
IMHO.
