Terminal Enhancements

Yes, the first one it finds is the one it will run. But he/she can also be clever and call it sl and wait for you to slip up.

Yes, but this is a template version, and I will try to eliminate those security bugs next release version.

And now I bet you're wondering what that empty file named "5" is doing in your homedir...

Oops, could you tell me how to do it?

[lkjoel]

Oh now I get it.
I am a JavaScript programmer, and I forgot that BASH is not JavaScript!
I changed it to:

while [ $x -gt 5 ]

And a new release has been made, 0.1.1b.

Try it like this:

while true; do

although I, and apparently a few others, still don't see the point of this "application."

It is for beginners, and people who just don't want to leave windows (poor people)
And thanks, but check my last post.

I don't mean to be rude, simply blunt. Most people get what your application does, they're just saying that it's essentially useless. The only problem that it attempts to solve is one that has already been solved by the shell itself, making your application redundant. In fact, it makes the terminal less useful, because instead of interacting with bash itself, you're interacting with your poor imitation of a bash prompt.

Yes, but this is a template, and I will add some more features, to put it as a Linux Command Prompt. (still for windows users)

I don't think you understand. I'd explain it again, but I'm guessing you'll just ignore it and keep doing whatever anyways. Have fun.

You're "solving" a problem that doesn't exist with a "template/application" that only adds "current directory" to the PATH variable and then simply passes commands to the shell.

It's probably time for the both of us to unsubscribe from this thread. There's clearly nothing more we can say here to help.

It is not supposed to be a BASH. It is supposed to be a new shell, made for easiness and clarity. So then a beginner might learn it in a day, and an expert might use it for power usage.
What do you think?
(Note: I did make it in about 2-5 minutes, so it is a quite dirty shell script)
