This program was a two part project for SD Mines' Operating Systems class, taught by Dr. Karlsson. Overall, the program acts like a terminal which gives information about the OS. The first part gives a few new commands while the second part mimics the standard bash terminal (also contains first part commands).
Most Linux systems already have a command called dash (Debian Almquist shell). So, as an unfortunate side effect, this dash program must either be ran as ./dash or be renamed.
dash1 comes with dash.cpp and Makefile. To run:
$ make
$ ./dashdash> systat
systat dumps information from /proc/version, /proc/uptime, /proc/meminfo, and part of /proc/cpuinfo.
dash> pid <command_name>
pid will find the PID associated with the given command name. Nothing is given if it does not find the command.
dash> cmdnm <pid>
cmdnm will find the command name associated with the given PID number. 'Invalid PID' error given if the PID is not found.
- Commit dash2
- Add a non-looping feature to dash1 when command line paramters are given
- Redo comments?
- Usage statement in program!
