Gsh is designed to do two things:

1) be a comfortable environment for people who are already
accustomed to using a Unix shell.
2) make operations that are difficult or awkward with a normal
shell easier by having the shell take advantage of a graphical
environment.

Some of the features include:

  • context sensitive popup menu that gives you a list of commands
    based on what is currently selected.
  • user confurable menu for commonly used commands.
  • the ability to run multiple commands simultaneously and keep
    the output separate.
  • special colors that differentiate commands from output; running
    commands from completed commands; etc.

This is the first development release of Gsh. It is being
developed under Linux, but has also been tested to some extent
under Irix. I am interested in making it usable under any Unix-like
system. Gsh is distributed under the GPL.
