Tiny Shell Project

Description:

This shell was written entirely in C.
This project was for school and was meant to show mastery of signal handling and process management.

How to compile:

  1. navigate to /shell
  2. run make

How to run:

  1. navigate to /
  2. run tsh
    • flag -h = print help
    • flag -v = print diagnostics
    • flag -p = do not emit command prompt
  3. using tsh:
    • path/to/commandOrProgram [args] = run an external command or program (end with & to run in background)
    • quit / cmd/ctrl + d = exit shell
    • jobs = list jobs
    • bg = run job in background
    • fg = run job in foreground

How to test:

  1. navigate to /shell
  2. run ./tester.sh
    • make sure it has executable permissions with chmod +x tester.sh
  3. validate the results.txt file
    • everything runs to the project standards if the differences are only in the run commands and process IDs (including when ps is run)
