Powershell is a cross-platform, task-based command-line shell and scripting language that helps rapidly automate tasks that manage operating systems (Linux, macOS and Windows) and processes. It works well with existing tools and is optimized for dealing with structured data, REST APIs and object models. PowerShell was developed by Microsoft as a task management and configuration management framework. Powershell is designed to let you manage computers from the command line and improve the command-line and scripting environment.

Avoid switching between Clojure and bash scripts. Enjoy your parens on the command line. Leveraging GraalVM native-image and the Small Clojure Interpreter, babashka is a self-contained and instantly starting scripting environment. Babashka comes with scripting batteries included: tools.cli, cheshire, babashka.fs, babashka.process, java.time and many more libraries and classes. Babashka scripts work on linux, macOS and Windows. Besides the built-in libraries, babashka is able to load libraries from source, tapping into the world of already existing Clojure libraries. Babashka supports real JVM threads and like Clojure, supports futures and dynamic thread-locally bound vars. Babashka features a built-in task runner which covers the most popular use cases of make, just and npm scripts. Babashka can shell out to other CLI programs like you are used to in bash. It goes one step further and offers seamless integration with other binaries using the pod protocol.

ShellCheck is a GPLv3 tool that provides warnings and possible suggestions for bash/sh shell scripts. ShellCheck finds bugs in your shell scripts. You can cabal, apt, dnf, pkg or brew install it locally right now. ShellCheck highlights and clarifies typical beginner's syntax mistakes and issues that cause a shell to give a cryptic error message. It shows typical intermediate level semantic problems that cause a shell to behave in a abnormally and counter-intuitively. It can also discover ssubtle caveats, corner cases and pitfalls that may cause an user's working script to fail under probable future circumstances. ShellCheck.net is always synchronized to the latest git version, and is the simplest way to give ShellCheck a go.

xjobs has a command line interface similar to xargs to start processes, but runs processes in parallel and provides enhanced concepts for I/O redirection.

Bash-Toolbox is a simple set of functions and instructions that help develop script applications in Bash.

FLoM is a free open source distributed lock manager that can be used to synchronize shell commands, scripts and custom developed software. When used in a shell environment, FLoM manages process synchronization in the same way that "nice" manages process prioritization. Shell commands, scripts and custom programs can be synchronized inside a single system or in a network of IP connected systems. FLoM supports different types of abstract resources: simple, numeric, set, hierarchical and transactional sequence. libflom, the library shipped with FLoM, allows you to develop your own application using a simple C, C++, Java, Perl, PHP or Python client API. SSL/TLS security for network communication, X.509 certificates for peer to peer mutual authentication.

Please download the above zip file and extract it to a secret folder and run the quiz.sh script from that folder in your terminal program, as shown in the youtube videos : https://youtu.be/kQi0XlIaT9M and https://youtu.be/prwKN5DiFp0 You may change the contents of the quiz.txt file to your liking, while maintaining the format of it. Note: Press Enter/Return key after typing on your Terminal, to proceed to the next step, while testing the quiz.sh script. Also, increase the terminal font size to the desired level, before using the script, to view in bigger mode. Google search for linux / cygwin / mac terminal font size to know more about it. LATEST UPDATE : The quiz.sh script is updated now to perform for the whole class of students and log the results into the Students_Score.txt file. Also see this collection of bash scripts : https://sourceforge.net/projects/bash-shell-scripting-in-minute/ and this script : https://sourceforge.net/projects/command-output-to-html-table/

Erc is an interpreted link-oriented language. Majic is a java-based interpreter for Erc, and Majicc is a c++ based compiler for Erc which uses the Majic libraries.

F&S File Find (i.e. Fast and Slow File Find) is a cross-platform command-line tool designed for Ultra-Fast Searching for Files on your hard drive. The application uses two main facilities to quickly locate files on your drive: 1. Caching previously visited folders in order to allow Ultra-Fast searches on consequent searches. 2. Multi-Core operation to speed up searches. (Compared to the standard Windows/CLI search tools) The application is designed to favor speed over all other computer resources (mainly memory), As my assumption is that if you want to locate a file on your drive, you want results as fast as possible. Currently tested only on Windows. Linux/Mac releases are still pending.
