well...

i meant to have commented that code out. I was using it for another purpose. At any rate, I got my shell to work. thaaaaaaaaaanx

Code:
mars:$ cat modshell1.3.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

int main()
 {
  cout<<"You have entered my 1814 shell"<<endl;
//  string command;
  char line[256], *doit[20];
  int n, pid, parentpid, childpids[0];


  while (line !="exit")
      {

        cout<<"GIMME:#";
        cin.getline(line, 256);
//     cin.getline(line,sizeof(line));
        cout<<"The command you typed was: " <<line<<endl;
        doit[0] = strtok(line, " ");
        int i=1;
        while (doit[i]=strtok(NULL, " "))
            i++;
        doit[i]=NULL;

        if (strcmp(line,"exit")==0)
           return 0;

        parentpid=getpid();
        printf("I am the parent process and my pid is %d\n", getpid());
        if (pid=fork())
 {
             int status;
             waitpid(-1, &status, 0);
             childpids[n]=pid;
          }
                  else
          {
             printf("I am a child process and my pid is %d\n", getpid());
             cout<<"Parameters are: "<<endl;
              for (int j=0; j<i; j++)
                  cout<<doit[j]<<endl;
             cout<<"       EXECUTE CHILD"<<endl;
             execve(doit[0], doit, NULL);
             exit(0);
          }
       cout<<"     KILL CHILD AND RETURN TO PARENT"<<endl;
       printf("I am still the parent process and my pid is %d\n",
         getpid());
   }//end of while
 if (line =="exit")
 return 0;

printf("I am still the parent process and my pid is %d\n", getpid());
}//end of main

Operands pid Print the process tree for the process ID number specified by pid. username Print the process tree for all the processes from the user specified by username. Note that only username (and not user ID) can be specified for this instance. If no operands are specified, then prints the process tree of all processes starting from the children of or (if is specified). EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
