Getting started
Please hook up your (bluetooth) keyboard to use xrsh.
tip use ctrl+a+0/1/2/3/.. to switch (GNU) screen terminals (and ctrl+a+c to create new ones)
usecase | command |
---|---|
require | adds javascript or CSS url to DOM |
js run | js 'alert("hello")' |
js console.log: | console document.baseURI |
js inspect: | js "return document.baseURI" |
Polyglot environment
Currently the following languages are supported:
- shellscript (busybox sh)
- awk (busybox awk v1.33.0)
- python (micropython)
- javascript (via your browser)
- lua (5.3.6)
TIP: type
ls -la ~/hook.d/alert/*
for examples
Editors
- vi (busybox vi)
- nano (busybox nano)
- mg (microemacs)
Boot sequence
The following files are loaded during boot (via /etc/profile
)
file | info |
---|---|
/etc/profile.xrsh | sets up xrsh environment |
/etc/profile.sh | global shellscript functions |
/etc/profile.js | global javascript functions |
/mnt/profile.browser | environment vars set by browser (echo $HOSTNAME ) |
/root/.profile | user shellscript functions/settings |
/root/.profile.js | user javascript functions |
/root/.screenrc | GNU screen initialisations |
https://.../#ls | URI fragment is executed as command in own screen |
TIP: to keep things portable with future versions of XRSH: modify files in
/root/*
Calling terminal from javascript
const term = document.querySelector('[isoterminal]').components.isoterminal.term
term.exec("ls -la")
Calling javascript from terminal
Various options:
- Just add the
#!/bin/js
shebang to the top of a javascript file (+ chmod +x) - Run
js "alert('hello')"
in the shell - Run
jsh alert hello
in the shell - Run
jsh
to start an interactive shell
Hybrid Terminal/Browser Events
Events are automatically triggering scripts in /root/hook.d/{eventname}/*
They can be triggered by the following ways
- from shellscript:
hook myevent
(will trigger executable files in /root/hook.d/myevent) - from javascript:
isoterminal.exec("hook myevent")
(idem) - via jsh:
jsh alert hello
(will trigger executable files in /root/hook.d/alert)
These are various ways to enable hybrid eventing between browser and terminal (languages).
Multiple terminals [GNU screen]
From the cmdline
xrsh # screen –DR # list of detached screen
xrsh # screen –r PID # attach detached screen session
xrsh # screen –dmS Myses # start a detached screen session
xrsh # screen –r MySes #attach screen session with name MySession
