Proclets 0.3 + bjorne shell 0.2 patch

Project:JNode Core
Component:Code
Category:feature request
Priority:normal
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:won't fix
Description

This patch is another snaphot of the the proclet code plus the partly implemented "bjorne" shell. It should be applied using 'patch' against the jnode 'trunk' at revision #3231.

The new shell functionality is enabled using the 'chsh' command. This have the following command syntax:

chsh <shell> [ <invoker> ]

where the shell is one of "minimal", "default" or 'bjorne" and the invoker is one of "default", "thread" or "proclet".

The bjorne shell is still at a very early stage, but some kinds of variable expansion and some kinds of redirection are believed to be working with simple commands.

Here's another update. The new features of version of the patch are

  • more bourne shell functionality - '&&', '||', ';', 'if ...', 'while ...', 'until ...',
  • (hacky) support for control characters in KeyboardInterpretter,
  • support for ^D == EOF on the console standard input stream, and
  • an enhancement to 'cat' to allow it to be used for creating files.

As before the baseline for the patch is SVN version #3231 of the trunk.

These patches are no longer relevant. A reworked version of 'proclets' was checked in some time ago, and there is a more recent version of the bjorne work.
