Possibility to use shell commands

[AmokHuginnsson]

Hello.

If I understood your question correctly, you are asking for using replxx to implement
an interactive system shell for the command line.

It can be achieved, in fact there is already a project that does precisely that: Huginn - a new interactive system shell for both Linux/Unix and Windows systems (Github mirror).
In this project you can see how replxx can be utilized to implement so called "interactive part" of system shell and how much more work is necessary to have fully functioning shell.

If you asked for something simpler than implementing fully fledged system shell
so that replxx would do most of the job for you by some method for running system commands
and "forwarding" their I/O then unfortunately this would be out of scope for the replxx project.

It is worth mentioning that Linux' ls is implemented completely different than Windows' dir
in a sense that ls exists in the system as a standalone program that can be executed by any other process directly while dir on Windows is a cmd's built-in and can be executed only from cmd context.

I hope this answer your question.

@AmokHuginnsson Thanks for your reply. This is exactly what I had in mind. I'll have a look into the huginn project.
