Psh: Cmd.exe Replacement

Killswitch · Post by **Killswitch** » Thu Sep 28, 2006 6:58 pm

Ok, I've updated the program (see links in the first post). I've added the up/down arrow scrolling and (hopefully) addressed the 100% CPU usage.

I'm noticing two things - the scrolling I meant was scrolling of the commands which you had entered at the prompts - and the CPU problem seems to still be present.

Can you add in "exit" and I do not see the CPU problem. That part seems fine. Also, can you add in a "CLS" (clear screen)?

TIA

Those two shouldn't be two hard too add, am I right in saying 'exit' will just close the program?

@stubbsi

Could you explain the scrolling behaviour you'd like to see a bit more clearly, I'm still a bit confused. As for the CPU problem can you post your machine specs, because I can't recreated here on either my laptop or computer. The latest version I posted took a max of 11% CPU time for a very short period.

just use the cmd program, type in a couple of dos statements, and then use the arrow keys on the keyboard.

you will be able to move through the statements you have typed.

sorry if i haven't been making myself clear

i like it, its a great idea. 2 bugs with the console though.. One is if you press things like 'ESC', 'CTRL+C' etc, you guy a funny character show up on the screen and the positiony marker thing goes ahead a few more spaces... The second one is, open the console up, hold 'e' for a little bit... You'll soon notice you get one e on the next line, and you can now go up lines...

Other then that, I love it, great work.

Dir seems to only work on the home directory... change it with "cd" and then try it...

(edit) Actually it works if you use an absolute path with "cd"... apparently relative paths don't work.
