Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author hello, I'm a undergrade CS student doing a project for my introductory operating systems class. my team wants to write a simple shell from scratch. one idea we have found so far is the following. the shell will record all the programs it has run. whenever a program goes awry and is killed by the kernel. the shell will reload it. what do you think of it? also, we know there are many many shells out there. and our professor would not like us to write from scratch. we wanted because it provides much exercise. but we certainly don't know about all the shells out there. so I'm writing to get your opinions. maybe there are thing that people implement themselves but want included in the shell itself? or just something they want implemented? thanks a lot in advance for your help.
