Source code

[helpasap]

Hi! My college requires me to do a project on Linux shell i.e. i am expected to make my own shell which will recognize a minimum of 25 commands. I want to know how i must go about it and where the source code wil be available so i can have a fair idea on how to start. Please let me know if there are some sources available from where i can find help or if you can please help me! Thanks.

It's against our Forum Rules to help with homework, but I can give you some broad ideas that might help you find the answer on your own. I had to do this very same project in college.

Look up methods like execv() to launch applications from within an application. You're going to need to handle threads more than likely as well. There's a helpful program called "minishell" if I remember correctly that should give you a start.

If all else fails, Google for it. You're not the first to have this project and some folks who came before you have posted help on their personal sites for it.
