An alternative to BASH/TCSH?
Greetings!

I love the power and control offered by BASH but detest its syntax! Is there some alternative *nix shell language? (other than TCSH)

Or maybe a wrapper that affords the use of BASH commands via an easier syntax?

I considered creating a complicated system of aliases to accomplish this, but 1) the aliases would only work on my computer and 2) I'd rather not :P

Anyone know of a pre-build aliases set / shell wrapper / alternative shell / alternative CLI or even better ... some alternative to the CLI altogether that still gives the user the power ad control of BASH without being confusing and irritating to use.

Okay, let's brainstorm...

tcpdchk

TCPDCHK(8)						      System Manager's Manual							TCPDCHK(8)

NAME

       tcpdchk - tcp wrapper configuration checker

SYNOPSIS

       tcpdchk [-a] [-d] [-i inet_conf] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       tcpdchk	examines  your	tcp  wrapper  configuration and reports all potential and real problems it can find. The program examines the tcpd
       access control files (by default, these are /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny), and compares the entries in these files against  entries
       in the inetd or tlid network configuration files.

       tcpdchk reports problems such as non-existent pathnames; services that appear in tcpd access control rules, but are not controlled by tcpd;
       services that should not be wrapped; non-existent host names or non-internet address forms; occurrences of host aliases instead of official
       host names; hosts with a name/address conflict; inappropriate use of wildcard patterns; inappropriate use of NIS netgroups or references to
       non-existent NIS netgroups; references to non-existent options; invalid arguments to options; and so on.

       Where possible, tcpdchk provides a helpful suggestion to fix the problem.

OPTIONS

       -a     Report access control rules that permit access without an explicit ALLOW keyword. This applies only when the extended access control
	      language is enabled (build with -DPROCESS_OPTIONS).

       -d     Examine hosts.allow and hosts.deny files in the current directory instead of the default ones.

       -i inet_conf
	      Specify this option when tcpdchk is unable to find your inetd.conf or tlid.conf network configuration file, or when you suspect that
	      the program uses the wrong one.

       -v     Display the contents of each access control rule.  Daemon lists, client lists, shell commands and options are  shown  in	a  pretty-
	      printed format; this makes it easier for you to spot any discrepancies between what you want and what the program understands.

FILES

       The default locations of the tcpd access control tables are:

       /etc/hosts.allow
       /etc/hosts.deny
