Operating Systems Linux Handling "command not found" exception Post 302264835 by ddreggors on Friday 5th of December 2008 02:26:04 AM
Old 12-05-2008
Sorry to double post but I remembered another nice tool (or rather shell).

As a shell give fish a try, it is VERY similar to bash but has a nice feature that actually color codes the command line as you type to indicate commands and files that are found or not.

As you are typing the word you are on will change from red to green if the command/file is found or not. It also does an underline to indicate files found. When using tab completion the whole line will flash another color if there is nothing found to complete the line.

Just wanted to add that as an option as well.

NAME
viewsu - change (virtual) user ID or become (virtual) superuser SYNOPSIS
viewsu [options] [username] DESCRIPTION
The viewsu command is used to become another user during a login session. Invoked without a username, viewsu defaults to becoming the supe- ruser. The optional argument - may be used to provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. This command is the View-OS counterpart of the su(1) command. The value of $PATH is reset to /bin:/usr/bin for normal users, or /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin for the superuser. This may be changed with the ENV_PATH and ENV_SUPATH definitions in /etc/login.defs. OPTIONS
The options which apply to the viewsu command are: -c, --command COMMAND Specify a command that will be invoked by the shell using its -c. -, -l, --login Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had the user logged in directly. When - is used, it must be specified as the last viewsu option. The other forms (-l and --login) do not have this restriction. -s, --shell SHELL The shell that will be invoked. The invoked shell is chosen from (highest priority first): o The shell specified with --shell. o The shell indicated in the /etc/passwd entry for the target user. o /bin/sh if a shell could not be found by any above method.
