SQL::Shell is a command interpreter for DBI shells.

SYNOPSIS

use SQL::Shell;

#Initialise and configure
my $sqlsh = new SQL::Shell(%settings);
$sqlsh->set($setting, $new_value);
$value = $sqlsh->get($setting);

#Interpret commands
$sqlsh->execute_command($command);
$sqlsh->run_script($filename);

SQL::Shell is a command-interpreter API for building shells and batch scripts. A command-line interface with readline support - sqlsh.pl - is included as part of the CPAN distribution. See < SQL::Shell::Manual > for a user guide.

SQL::Shell offers features similar to the mysql or sql*plus client programs but is database independent. The default command syntax is arguably more user-friendly than dbish not requiring any go, do or slashes to fire SQL statements at the database.

Here are some key features of "SQL Shell":

· issuing common SQL statements by simply typing them
· command history
· listing drivers, datasources, tables
· describing a table or the entire schema
· dumping and loading data to/from delimited text files
· character set conversion when loading data
· logging of queries, results or all commands to file
· a number of formats for display/logging data (sql, xml, delimited, boxed)
· executing a series of commands from a file

You can also install custom commands, rendering formats and command history mechanisms. All the commands run by the interpreter are available via the API so if you dont like the default command syntax you can replace the command regexes with your own.

Its been developed and used in anger with Oracle and mysql but should work with any database with a DBD:: driver.

CGI-Shell provides a shell using CGI, so everyone who has a CGI directory on a Web server can also have a shell on it. It is something like telnet or SSH.

How to install?
make
make install (you have to be root)


How to uninstall?
make uninstall (you have to be root)

The server is distributed as binary - you can also compile it yourself with "make server", but its not recommendable.

Whats New in This Release:

· PHP support (works not if system() call is disabled in PHP)
· configuration file
· bugfixes, little improvements

xen-shell is a simple console application which allows you to easily allow the owner of a single Xen instance to control it, without the overhead of a web-based control panel.

Using this shell users may:

· Boot/Shutodwn their Xen guest.
· Reboot their Xen guest.
· Connect to the serial console of their runing Xen guest.
· Reimage their system to a pristine state, via xen-tools.
· Manipulate their reverse DNS information

The shell features command history, command completion, and integrated help.

It is ideal for a hosting company who wishes to over "virtual machine" hosting to their customers, and allow them to control their own instance.

MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for interactive use, but with primary focus on scripting.

The project is intended to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as theyre not too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS and FreeWRT projects. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable.

The shell supports large files, as well as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, and GNU bash features, is compatible with the Bourne shell (within limits, but you can turn off brace expansion), has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins and features. While being already fast and small (without losing functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at compile time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.

Whats New in This Release:

· Packagers should read the information at http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm#upgrade.
· mksh can now be built on more platforms, such as AIX, and with a lot of vendor compilers (Intel, Sun, IBM, Microsoft, Borland, Digital Mars, HP) in addition to gcc.
· Some constructs from GNU bash are supported.
· The code and build system got cleaned up, fixed, and improved further.
· Large file support on some OSes and POSIX compatibility got better.

Archiver Shell provides an Explorer-style interface for you to work with compressed files. This program offers full support for ARJ, ACE, RAR, CAB, ZIP, LZH, ARC, ZOO, TAR, TGZ, GZ, and Z file compression. You select a compressed file and the contents are displayed as if you had opened the folder. You can run programs, view documents, call Quick View, and perform basic file management operations such as delete, rename, move, copy and synchronize directories, whether or not the file or folder is contained within a compressed file. Archiver Shell also allows you to easy create self-extracting ZIP and CAB files, establish a default unzip folder, add a message, and optionally run a program when the files extracted. Archiver Shell supports variable compression, adding comments and multivolume (multiple-disk) for ZIP, ACE, RAR and ARJ files. It makes standalone ZIP files with extensions *.z00, *.z01, *.z02, and so on. Data from each archive is automatically recorded in Archive History and stored in a history folder

PHP Shell is a shell wrapped in a PHP script. PHP Shell is a tool you can use to execute arbitrary shell-commands or browse the filesystem on your remote webserver. This replaces, to a degree, a normal telnet-connection.

You can use it for transferring your site as a compressed file, and then unpack it on the webserver, administration and maintenance of your website using commands like ps, free, du, df etc

If PHP is running in Safe Mode, then you cannot use PHP Shell sorry. Safe Mode restricts the commands that can be executed using the proc_open() call in PHP, and it also restricts the files and directories that can be accessed using other calls in PHP.

The effect is, that PHP Shell simply doesn t work you cannot change directory and you cannot execute any commands.

Safe Mode is often used on servers that host several websites for different users to limit the users ability to peek at each others files.

Limitations:

· There are some limitations on what kind of programs you can run. It won t do no good if you start something like Netscape or even vi. All programs have to be strictly command-line programs, and they will have no chance of getting user input after they have been launched. They probably also have to terminate within 30 seconds, as this is the default time-limit imposed unto all PHP scripts, to prevent them from running in an infinite loop. Your ISP may have set this time-limit to something else.
·
· But you can rely on all the normal shell-functionality, like pipes, output and input redirection, etc (There is no < tab >-completion, though)

Using

Like any other shell. When you point your browser at PHP Shell and types in your password (see the file INSTALL for more information on how to change the password), you ll be presented with a rather simple page containing nothing much except a big window with the cursor blinking at the bottom, signaling that it s ready to obey your commands.

Write a command and press , or alternatively is you insist press the Execute Command button. The command will be executed and the result will be shows in the terminal. You can now enter another command.

To be more precise: the terminal is updated with the command line you have just executed, the output of the command to standard out (stdout) and following that any error output sent to stderr.

The commands are executed relative to a current working directory, which is written at the top. You change this by the normal cd command.

Whats New in This Release:

· Authentication is now handled internally in PHP in an attempt to solve reported login problems.
· Configuration settings were moved to an ini file, and handling of PHP Safe Mode was improved with better error messages.

True3D*Shell is an open source 3D desktop environment that allows users to experience 3D browsing in a virtual reality universe where information is organized in bubbles connected by pipes. True3D*Shell is based on POSIX, Win32, FreeGLUT, OpenGL and MQ4CPP, and runs on IA32 and IA64 SMP platforms.

A user can browse local and remote filesystems and download and run selected files. It includes a robot mode that allows you to browse automatically.

Here are some key features of "True3D Shell":

· Shell : provides access to the kernel services
· Desktop environment : offers a graphical user interface (GUI) solution to operate a computer
· Avatar : provides a fantastic representations of a persons self with witch user can explore the virtual universe.
· Virtual Reality : users can interact with a virtual environment either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices.
· MVC paradigm : is a software architecture that separates an applications data model, user interface, and control logic into three distinct components.
· Multithreading : Threads are a way for a program to split itself into two or more simultaneously running tasks. Multiple threads can be executed in parallel on many computer systems.
· Grid computing : provides the ability to perform higher throughput computing by taking advantage of many networked computers to model a virtual computer architecture that is able to distribute process execution across a parallel infrastructure.
· MOM paradigms : Message Oriented Middleware is a category of inter-application communication software that relies on asynchronous message passing as opposed to a request/response metaphor.

Shell::Parser is a simple shell script parser.

SYNOPSIS

use Shell::Parser;

my $parser = new Shell::Parser syntax => bash, handlers => {

};
$parser->parse(...);
$parser->eof;

This module implements a rudimentary shell script parser in Perl. It was primarily written as a backend for Syntax::Highlight::Shell, in order to simplify the creation of the later.

QuickUPX-Win32 Shell is a free file compression tool that will come in handy.

WWW::Mechanize::Shell is an interactive shell for WWW::Mechanize.

SYNOPSIS

From the command line as
perl -MWWW::Mechanize::Shell -eshell
or alternatively as a custom shell program via :
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize::Shell;

my $shell = WWW::Mechanize::Shell->new("shell");

if (@ARGV) {
$shell->source_file( @ARGV );
} else {
$shell->cmdloop;
};

This module implements a www-like shell above WWW::Mechanize and also has the capability to output crude Perl code that recreates the recorded session. Its main use is as an interactive starting point for automating a session through WWW::Mechanize.
The cookie support is there, but no cookies are read from your existing browser sessions. See HTTP::Cookies on how to implement reading/writing your current browsers cookies.

Windows Explorer is a very flexible shell. Many of its dialogs, windows, menus and options can be changed or extended. To make it possible, Windows supports a special COM-based plugin technology known as Shell Extensions. There are many built-in Shell Extensions and you can see them almost everywhere: All virtual folders such as Printers, Control Panel, Recycle Bin are shell extensions File-specific icons, small arrows on link icons, link icons itself are shell extensions too Additional context-sensitive menu items are supplied by file-specific shell extension modules Tips in the tray icon menu, property sheets and many other items you see every day... All these wonderful additions are Shell Extensions. With Shell+ you can easy develop your own Shell Extensions. It will make your program more convenient and attractive. As usual with Delphi it is easy to start - only a few clicks are necessary to generate your own shell extension from scratch. Shell+ takes care of all methods to be implemented so you will never need to code numerous interfaces required by Windows. Write only necessary code, Shell+ will do all other routine jobs.

Give your applications Windows Explorer features with the Shell Controls ActiveX.

These powerful shell controls including ShellComboBox, ShellTreeView and ShellListView allow you to build simple or complex file/folder selection interfaces inside your own applications.

Term::Shell is a simple command-line shell framework.

SYNOPSIS

package MyShell;
use base qw(Term::Shell);

sub run_command1 { print "command 1!n"; }
sub smry_command1 { "what does command1 do?" }
sub help_command1 {
cmdloop;

Term::Shell lets you write simple command-line shells. All the boring details like command-line parsing, terminal handling, and tab completion are handled for you.
The base class comes with two commands pre-defined: exit and help.

To write a shell with an exec command, do something like this:

package MyShell;
use base qw(Term::Shell); # or manually edit @MyShell::ISA.

sub run_exec {
my ($o, $cmd, @args) = @_;
if ($cmd ne $0) {
print "Im sorry youre leaving us...n";
}
exec $cmd, @args;
exit 1;
}

When Term::Shell needs to handle the exec command, it will invoke this method. Thats all there is to it! You write handlers, and Term::Shell handles the gory details.
