Qshell is a command-line interpreter (shell) for IBM i operating environment on IBM Power Systems computer platform. Qshell is based on POSIX and X/Open standards. The utilities (or commands) are external programs that provide additional functions.
According to IBM, QSHELL is a “UNIX-like” interface built over IBM i. The commands issueed by the user point to programs in a “Qshell” library. To use Qshell, key STRQSH or QSH on an command line, or pass a command string to the QSH command, or use UNIXCMD, an open-source utility created by Scott Klement which allows the execution of QShell commands through an RPG special file.[1]
IBM Portable Application Solutions Environment for i (PASE for i) enables port of IBM AIX applications to the IBM i platform. To use PASE, CALL QP2TERM.
