llama-shell is a (currently) very minimal shell for Linux, and possibly other UNIXes, although I have only tested on Linux. It is, as of yet, a work in progres, so you probably shouldn't replace bash just yet, but it is steadily developing and will hopefully be a full-featured, POSIX compliant shell in the near future.
##Update:
- llama-shell supports the I/O redirection operators >, >>, <, <, 2>, 2>>, and &>. To use these operators, they currently must be separated on both sides by whitespace (ls > outfile not ls>outfile).
- llama-shell now handles signals correctly :). SIGINT and SIGQUIT both function exactly as expeded, terminating the process in question. However, as support for background processes has not yet been implemented, SIGTSTP, SIGTTIN, and SIGTTOU will also terminate the process and print a message. This will be addressed when background processes are implemented
##Development This is the development branch of llama-shell. Things in this branch will often be broken, or not work as well as they should. This is currently a learning project so I am not taking pull requests at this time. I hope to grow this into a full-featured shell, at which point I will welcome contributions.
##TO-DO List:
- Implement signal handling for SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTSTP
- Allow for process backgrounding
- Implement I/O redirection (i.e. >, >>, etc.)
- Implement I/O pipes (|)
- Make a config file
- Tab completion
- History
- Other cool stuff?
##Installation To install llama shell, just clone the repository to a directory of your choice and run the make command:
$ make
If you want to formally install it (it's not really a full featured shell yet so I'd avise against it), run as root:
$ make install
