PS3 Any Feature Suggestions for the Command Line Interpreter?

[StarmanX32]

Hey, everyone, i'm posting this thread so you can give me suggestions about what i could add to the command line interpreter i'm currently developing (check out the src here: https://github.com/E47-fx/PS3-PowerShell.

I've created two versions, a C# and a C++ version, the C++ version is more an experimental version, so i'll focus on the C# version.

What do you think is important in a command line interpreter program? I've thought about making a sprx auto loader, you put some sprx files in a folder on the PC and PS3 PowerShell uploads them on the PS3 and loads them with WebMAN MOD or a remote installer, you put some pkgs in a folder and PS3 PowerShell uploads them on your PS3 and automatically installs those PKGs with WebMAN MOD

If you have any suggestions, you can give a reply here.

Some suggestions:

1. Allow to process FTP commands and web commands in an unified interface:

examples:
dir -> connect to FTP to list the files (or use http interface if you prefer)
copy path1 path2 -> depending of the paths, use ftp to upload/download or /copy.ps3 to copy in PS3

2. Allow to perform any web command locally or remotely:

examples:
open /setup.ps3 -> open http://<ip>/setup.ps3 on a local browser
ps3 /setup.ps3 -> open perform it on the PS3
ps3 /mount.ps3/dev_hdd0/PS3ISO/mygame.iso

3. support scripts or record session, then allow to execute them line by line or all.

4. help

Processing any web command and FTP command that are typed in the interpreter shouldn't be a big problem, i'll see what i can do

I've already added the listing dir function in the interpreter (visible in the 1st screenshot)
I'm working on IO on the PS3 itself very soon.

About the /setup.ps3 thing

If you mean that it opens the ps3 browser with the specified URL (WebMAN or other URLs), i've already finished this command (browser URL command).

I'm currently working on the mounting functions.

I'm also working on a scripting languange, but it's in a very early stage so it might take a little bit time.

And there's a help command (visible in the 2nd screenshot), however, I need to update the help command..

Thanks for the suggestions.

Nice... looking forward for you next updates.

I only mentioned "help" because in a command line interface, it's critical to have enough information about the commands and the syntax. Otherwise the user will be lost and will end not using your application
