MSH(VIII)                    6/15/72                    MSH(VIII)







NAME

     msh - mini-shell



SYNOPSIS

     /etc/msh



DESCRIPTION

     Msh is a heavily simplified version of the Shell.  It  reads

     one  line  from  the standard input file, interprets it as a

     command, and calls the command.



     The mini-shell supports few of the advanced features of  the

     Shell; none of the following characters is special:



          >  <  $  \  ;  &   |  ^



     However, ``*'', ``['', and ``?'' are recognized and glob  is

     called.   The  main  use  of  msh  is  to provide a command-

     executing facility for various interactive sub-systems.
