A quick and dirty way to run commands on weenix without a terminal

WeenixWorkaround

Add this to the end of kernel/test/kshell/kshell.c and declare it in the associated .h

int kshell_test(kshell_t *ksh,char *command)
{
  char *args[10];
  int argc = 0;
  char redirect_in[MAXPATHLEN];
  char redirect_out[MAXPATHLEN];
  int append;
  redirect_in[0] = redirect_out[0] = '\0';
  kshell_find_redirection(ksh, command, redirect_in, redirect_out, &append    );
  kshell_redirect(ksh, redirect_in, redirect_out, append);
  kshell_get_args(ksh, command, args, KSH_MAX_ARGS, &argc);
  kshell_command_t *cmd;
  if ((cmd = kshell_lookup_command(args[0], strlen(args[0]))) == NULL) {
    kprintf(ksh, "kshell: %s not a valid command\n", args[0]);
  } else {
    cmd->kc_cmd_func(ksh, argc, args);
  }
  kshell_undirect(ksh);
  return 0;
}


Run the command in the kernel/main/kmain.c after we construct the kshell.
Insert the following function call about line 365

  kshell_test(kshell,"echo foo > short \n");
  kshell_test(kshell,"cat short \n");

Also, if you want to test exit. Comment out the kshell loop.
 /*while (kshell_execute_next(kshell));*/
