Exactly. Only a very simple interface to run functions like

int my_main(int argc,char *argv[]);

with printf() ready for EVERY user. This is a multiuser environment. POOR centainly but enought.

Very simple and easy to add new commands.

All the commands in rtems_monitor are included. You can inspect the tasks, the memory and all the 
monitor commans used to inspect the status of RTOS rtems.

And if the rtems_telnetd() is started a very useful tcp/ip commands are added.

ip, udp, tcp and more status can be examined.

and create directories and delete files.

Only your imagination puts the limits.

This was my POOR contribution in order to give a more user friendly interface with TCP/IP
and serial/console lines.

BRGDS.
