History

Boot (init)

Sash first runs as the boot manager (init), checking for (and executing if found):

${HOME}/.aliasrc (${HOME} defaults to '/' in kernel)
/etc/sashrc

After it finishes running sashrc, it displays a command prompt on the console (serial port in developer kernel).

Subshell (sh, sash)

Whenever sash starts as a subshell, it checks for (and executes if found):

${HOME}/.aliasrc (${HOME} defaults to '/usr/home' in /etc/sashrc)

Usage


sash [ { -c command | -f scriptfile } ] [ -p prompt ] [-q] [-a]

Options:

    -c command
        Execute command, and exit.  If command contains spaces or
        other shell special characters, you should enclose it in
        "quotes" and escape any special characters.

    -f scriptfile
        Load commands from scriptfile and execute them.

    -p prompt
        Set the interactive shell prompt string.

    -q  Be quiet.
    
    -a  Alias all built-in commands.

Shell language

The sash shell has been extended to include support for:

${VARNAME} environment variable expansion
if/elif/else/fi conditional (script only)

if [ <condition> ]

then

some command

elif [ <condition> ]

some other command

else

a third command

while/do/done conditional loop (script only)

while [ <condition> ]

some command

some other command

done
