.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.BR gsh
|
|
is the GNO Shell, so named because it was the first (and currently only)
|
|
shell to be made GNO-compatible.
|
|
It is the program which acts as the interface between the user and the
|
|
GNO kernel and various programs.
|
|
For a more complete description of
|
|
.BR gsh ,
|
|
see the
|
|
.IR "GNO Shell User's Manual" .
|
|
.LP
|
|
If
|
|
.IR scriptfile
|
|
is specified, it is assumed to be a
|
|
.BR gsh
|
|
shell script contained in a file of type SRC and auxtype EXEC.
|
|
The script is executed and then
|
|
.BR gsh
|
|
exits.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If
|
|
.BR -c " commands"
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.IR commands
|
|
is assumed to be a series of
|
|
.BR gsh
|
|
commands which are then executed as if they had been contained in a
|
|
.IR scriptfile .
|
|
See the section on BUGS, below.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If neither
|
|
.IR scriptfile
|
|
nor the
|
|
.BR -c
|
|
flag is specified, then
|
|
.BR gsh
|
|
starts up in interactive mode. In this case,
|
|
.BR gsh
|
|
will execute commands entered by the user until it gets the
|
|
.BR exit (1)
|
|
command, an EOF, or gets killed by another process.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR -f
|
|
flag indicates that on startup,
|
|
.BR gsh
|
|
should not attempt to parse the
|
|
.BR gshrc
|
|
file or do other initializations. This is intended to give a fast startup
|
|
in situations where these initializations are not required, however see
|
|
the section on BUGS, below.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.BR -c
|
|
flag does not work as advertised and may crash your machine if it is used.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Empirical tests are inconclusive as to whether or not the
|
|
.BR -f
|
|
flag really does speed up the starting of
|
|
.BR gsh .
|
|
.LP
|
|
Unfortunately, there are currently
|
|
.I many
|
|
other bugs in
|
|
.BR gsh .
|
