The program implements a bash clone with C. Some bash commands are implemented and the rest are invoked using execvp
. A few additional commands such as pinfo
, jobs
, kjob
and kill
have been implemented to enhance productivity.
1) A shell prompt of the form: `<username@system_name:curr_dir>` with path relative to home
2) Semi-colon (;) separated commands
3) & to run a process in background
4) Some built in commands like cd and pwd re-implemented
5) Type `quit` to exit the shell
6) Implements foreground and background processes
7) Process name and id printed when background process terminates
8) Type `pinfo` in the prompt to print: pid, process, status, memory and executable path (on Linux machines)
9) Redirection of outputs supported
10) Piping supported
11) Multiple piping implemented
12) Foreground option (Not functional yet)
13) Type `jobs` to list the processes in background with PID and a sequential number
14) `kjob <process number(as listed in jobs command)> <signal>` to give the signal
15) `kill` to kill all background processes
16) Ctrl-C to terminate a process
17) Ctrl-D to exit the shell/denote EOF
* To compile: make
* To run: ./a.out
* Clean: make clean
* Uninstall: make uninstall (Deletes all files)
Incase the prompt doesn't appear after a background process is started/terminated or for any other reason, press ENTER.
