Hello there,

I just wonder if any one knows some links or samples about how to write your own UNIX shell in C, ie. the shell must handle internal commands and the execution of user programs.

Please help!

No offence meant, but if you are having to ask this then you probably shouldn't be attempting it! I think you either have enough expertise to do this kind of thing (you are some sort of god for example). Or you don't. Unix is a bloody massively powerful OS and i think tampering with it will end in tears. Unless it's someone else's computer of course, then you can go mad!
