This small project comes from a project in my Operating Systems class at Marshall University in which we were studying message passing models in modern OSs.</p> <p>It should work fine with any program that is defined in your system $PATH variable (usually /usr/bin, etc). If you type !!, it will re-run the previous command. Or n!, where n is the number of the previous command. To get a list of these previous commands and their corresponding numbers, use the ‘history’ command which will show you all of your previous entries.</p>
