Moved root directory to tmp

I just received a phone call from a customer who accidentally typed this in:

# mv * /tmp

They did this from the root directory. I think they thought they were in a different folder. So now no commands work. I even adjusted the path to have the /tmp in front of everything. Even when I went into /tmp/usr/bin the commands still would not work.


Anyone have any ideas on what I can do??

this is on Sco Openserver 5.0.4
