rshell

rshell is a C++ application that simulates a terminal's shell. It executes commands, creates, overrides, and deletes files, and even runs programs, as if you are still using your terminal!

Building and Running

Note: If you are using Ubuntu, you may need to install the GNU C++ compiler package in order to generate the executable. There are two known ways to do this:

• Type in your terminal: sudo get-apt install g++

• Find the package under your OS version from this link. Then download it and follow the instructions on installation.

Running this software requires only 5 steps using your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/aesgu001/rshell.git
cd rshell
git checkout hw0
make
bin/rshell

Bugs/Issues/Limitations

1. Entering bin/rshell in the shell simulator runs a duplication of the application. Returning to the bash shell would require you to enter exit exactly the number of times you enter the previous command.

2. The echo command will include quotation marks when printing quoted arguments. It cannot send text to a new or existing file using the > character, either.

3. Connectors entered first will not return a syntax error.

4. The cd command will not be executed successfully.

5. The git commit -m <message> command will not be executed successfully.
