I had an idea of creating extensions for the ash UNIX shell.
ash lacks: history, alias, unalias command
I coded a little UNIX shell script for ash, which allows ash users to use the history
command in ash.
What do you guys think?
Thanks,

How do you want do do the extension? As a script?

The fact that there is some program already capable of all the stuff that you want your own proggy to do should not keep you from doing it.
How do you want to learn otherwise? Never write a "Hello World" because there are enough of them out there?

I didn't mean that you shouldn't do it because bash has it. I just noted you so that you could look for certain solutions if you need them...
anyways, what is ash?

afaik ash is some micro shell supposed to be used on computers with minimal hardware, or for rescue systems (boot disks)...

MoX: very true, never stop only because of so-called "competition"
fsvara: yeah, ash is a UNIX shell disigned to be small, but a small extension, is what?...about 2KB or something.
KaGez: ash is UNIX shell, made to be small.
And yes, I was thinking of making this "extension" in UNIX shell script.
My other idea was to make Perl usable from UNIX shells(a thing which I developed before in a diffirent form).
Thanks,
ComWizz.

but then you'd have to keep the size also as small as possible!
