Talk:Almquist shell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ash included in *BSD as /bin/sh does include job control. There is also command line editing though it is not enabled by default.
There was another shell named "ash" (or "adsh") which was the "adventure shell", like a text adventure game (Zork or whatever). AnonMoos 18:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment on Merge Suggestion
The article is pretty clear that it is not describing a Linux-specific program, so merging it would damage this source of information Tedickey 14:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Red Hat nash?
Red Hat/Fedora Linux uses a program called nash [1] to interpret scripts during start-up. However, despite the name it does not appear to be related to ash. I've checked the versions of nash back to summer 2001 without finding any traces of ash — but perhaps they used ash originally, and at some point decided to write their own program instead.
