i believe that those who understand and care about posix would look for an exact match. it is a unix command shell. that it still uses posix commands is kinda a given because they are independent from the shell. i think "shell for posix systems" is clear enough, although i can imagine fish working just fine on non-posix systems. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china societyserver.(org|net) foresight developer community.gotpike.org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin (open-steam|www.caudium).org realss.com Martin Bähr http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
