Project 1

Design and Implement a Simple UNIX Shell

2 Objective

This project is about services that an operating system provides to users, processes, and other systems. In particular, via this project, you are to gain familiarity to services provided by operating systems and to use system calls to access the services.

To achieve this objective, you are to create a simple “shell” for Linux systems. A shell is a command interpreter whose main function is to get and execute the next user-specified command. See Section 2.2.1 in the textbook for more discussion.

3    Warning

Many people have written various operating system shells and tutorials, and even shared their code. It is acceptable to study what they wrote, but it constitutes plagiarism in this class to copy and paste their code as your own.
