Simple Shell Interface

Project Overview

This project involves creating a simple shell interface using the C Programming Language. The shell accepts user commands, creates a child process, and executes the commands in the child process. The shell provides a prompt for the user to enter commands and can run commands both in the foreground and background.

Features

• Command Execution: Executes user commands in a child process.
• Foreground and Background Execution: Allows commands to run in the background using the & symbol.
• Error Handling: Prints error messages for invalid commands and prompts the user for another command.
• Unix Command Testing: Supports a variety of Unix commands for testing.

File Structure

• shellA.c: The main C program file that includes the shell implementation.
• Makefile: The makefile to compile the program.
• CSE2431Lab2.pdf: The lab assignment document providing detailed instructions and requirements.
