I have using a combination phpsh, which is proprietary, and file manager, which is a security risk, for about 1/2 decade. I very much wanted to work on phpsh, but, as I couldn't distribute it, I deferred. Also, I have not been a paid technologist since the tech crash of the early 2000s, and my focus has been sociology, education, and psychology -- and long haul trucking ($!)
I am using godaddy, so first I will attempt to create an initiation file, and I will also attempt to alter the PHP timeouts, as well as figure out how to background jobs for making tar balls, for instance. A nice component would be hypertext links on the pathnames, and also possible hypertext links on commands, if they don't require modifiers. Years ago, I made Perl libraries to substitute shell commands so that shell could be more friendly, and also so it could be embedded more easily. It would also be nice to use an editor native to the computer to edit files as a substitute for VI, or whatever you prefer. This would require FTP or some HTTP connection. Other ideas are coming to mind as I write. Since 2000, I have been considering the possibility of a new shell. As great as SH and KSH are, they were, in a sense, proof of concept projects, and some of the syntax is awkward. Also, though it seems contradictory, I think the shell should be object-oriented so that it can represent the motion of objects, such as we are used to on the desktop. When I go started on psych in earnest, and I got to the nitty-gritty of brain functions, I saw no other avenue except functional-orientation, where the premise is that a static organism is dead--we are all in constant motion, all our facilities are functioning, and are not objects waiting to be evoked, such as in object-orientation. In this model, the language comes last; first is to sell the tool as an aid to conceptualization (which, believe me, is an extreme need as psych is the last of the sciences to leave philosophy, and is still awash if flowery, and usually meaningless, theory). As this might be a direction for me in the near future, and since I am into a new shell, maybe the functional orientation can layer upon static objectiveness.
