# Shell
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On UNIX(r), the shell is the main interaction tool between the
|
||
|
|
user-level and the system. That doesn\'t necessarily mean the user
|
||
|
|
always sits infront of a shell, but it\'s integral part of the system,
|
||
|
|
not only an \"optional commandline interpreter\".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main job of a shell is to execute commands as a user requests them.
|
||
|
|
This behaviour alone doesn\'t help much. A shell knits some intelligence
|
||
|
|
and flow control around the possibility to execute commands - it\'s a
|
||
|
|
complete commandline-oriented user-interface (UI).
