I have this software QNX 4.23A on a PC Based machine tool
I got to login with login “Root”
and I’m in with a #
I don’t have any documentation and it does nothing with dos commands
is there a shell program that I can figure out moving around in or can
someone post a list of commands
dir, cd, etc…
thanks again,
Mike

It is a fairly standard Unix setup – you’re logged in to a ksh
environment. Options to commands are labelled with a single dash.
Pathnames use a forward slash / character as a seperator.
Quick summary of commands:
pwd display current directory name
ls list files
ls -l list files with dates, sizes, etc
cd change directory
more will display a file
mv rename a file
rm delete a file
use give quick “help” for a command… e.g. “use rm” will tell a
bit about rm
Beyond a quick summary, though, it gets messy – a basic Unix book might
be a good place to start, and Learning the Korn Shell from O’Reilly
and Associates is a good book, its first few chapters cover the shell as a
command line environment rather than as a programming environment, then
it gets into more detail – but for your purposes it is probably overkill
on the shell, and not general enough.
Also, things may be more complex than above – many companies don’t ship
a complete QNX system – by not shipping everything, they can reduce their
licensing costs, and if they’re shipping lots of systems they often do
this.

Also try:
http://qdn.qnx.com/support/docs/qnx4/index.html
For online documentation. They are for version 4.25 – but other than
some added drivers they are still going to be pretty close to correct
for almost everything under QNX 4.23A as well.
Still, those are reference docs, they will tell you what commands do,
but they won’t tell you what commands to look for, unfortunately.
