This build supports the following:

Please note that this release doesn't support Event and Error logging.

Execution via Argument

Rashell supports execution via argument.

Here is a list of the currently supported switches:

  • -c This switch tells Rashell that it/she should execute the command specified. (Example: rashell.exe -c mkdir %userprofile%\folder).
  • -e By default Rashell exits after the command parsed via arguments ends. To prevent that, use the switch -e. (Example: rashell.exe -ce mkdir %userprofile%\folder).
  • -v By default Rashell doesn't display the command it executes that are parsed via arguments. To make it/she show the commands use the verbose (-v) switch. (Example: rashell.exe -cev mkdir %userprofile%\folder).

Built-in commands

Rashell has number of buit-in commands.

Here's a list:

  • ls - List all files and directories. Help command (ls -?).
  • mkdir - Creates a new directory.
  • cd - Sets the Current Working Directory.
  • pwd - Prints the Current Working Directory.
  • echo - Prints a string of characters on screen.
  • whoiam - An enhanced version of whoami.
  • clear - Clears the console's screen.
  • time - Displays the current time.
  • date - Displays the current date.
  • exit & bye - Exits the Shell.

There's more to come.

Configuration overriders

It is possible to override configuration parameters using the --config$ option argument.

The current list of supported config overriders (non case-sensitive):

  • DEF_WORKING_DIR changes the default directory in which Rashell starts up into.
    • Example: rashell.exe --config$DEF_WORKING_DIR="%appdata%" will cause Rashell to startup into the AppData Directory.
  • DISPLAY_WELCOME_MSG can be used to toggle ON/OFF the display welcome message parameter.
    • Example: rashell.exe --config$DISPLAY_WELCOME_MSG=OFF toggles off Welcome Message.
  • PRIORITIZE_BUILTIN_SHELL can be used to toggle the built-in shell parameter.
  • Example: rashell.exe --config$PRIORITIZE_BUILTIN_SHELL=OFF will toggle off the parameter.
  • ENABLE_EVT_LOG can be used to toggle ON/OFF Rashell's event-logger.
    • Example: rashell.exe --config$ENABLE_EVT_LOG=ON will turn on the event-logger.
  • ENABLE_ERR_LOG can be used to toggle ON/OFF Rashell's error-logger.
    • Example: rashell.exe --config$ENABLE_ERR_LOG=OFF will turn off the error-logger.

Multiple overriders can be used at once alongside Rashell's switches and command.
