h1. Ronin Shell

This is an experimental object-oriented command shell, in the same vein as rush (http://rush.heroku.com/) or Windows "PowerShell".

h2. Plans

The stuff I definitely want to implement:

• Proper pty
• Job control
• Traditional @stdio@-based command pipelining.

h3. Experimental Stuff

Output from regular system commands are captured automatically, @_@ will be an IO opened to the last command's @STDOUT@, and @_err@, the last command's @STDERR@.

$> processes PID TTY TIME CMD 1 ?? 14:01.77 /sbin/launchd 15 ?? 0:56.58 /usr/libexec/kextd 16 ?? 2:50.14 /usr/sbin/DirectoryService 17 ?? 1:17.66 /usr/sbin/notifyd 18 ?? 0:06.29 /usr/sbin/diskarbitrationd 19 ?? 2:48.09 /usr/libexec/configd 20 ?? 7:16.62 /usr/sbin/syslogd 21 ?? 1:05.17 /usr/sbin/distnoted [...]

$> _.grep( /notify/ ) 17 ?? 1:17.67 /usr/sbin/notifyd 275 ?? 0:10.63 /usr/sbin/aosnotifyd

$> pid = _.first.split[0]

=> "17"
