creating own command interpreter like bash...??
Hello senior members,


I am a fairly newbie here. I just want to ask one question that how can once create one's own command interpreter/ shell like bash in unix/linux.

I need to execute basic commands like pipes and i/o.

Any help in this matter ??

Why would you want to do that? There are great, well-establish shells around, packed with features, why would you want to reinvent the wheel?
But if you really wanted to undertake this heroic task, you'd probably write it in C.

yeah but...
Yeah but how exactly...?? I searched in google but found only a few links where they discussed the benefits of a custom made shell but not the building mechanisms. I am not asking for the code, but at least an external link for the same will be of great help..!!
