Emulating *nix Shell with Windows Command Prompt
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009Ever tried to ls or rm under Windows?
With just a few minor adjustments the Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe) can emulate the behaviour of your favourite *nix shell. Please note, this isn't a full emulation method - the existing Windows commands are being manipulated to appear as their *nix shell counterparts.
Note: This is for systems where unauthorized software is not permitted. If you administrate your own system, I highly recommend checking the GnuWin32, in particular the CoreUtils package.
