Abstract:
A shell environment may include a mechanism for executing commands on a remote device. The mechanism may retrieve remote commands and command metadata from the remote device and create scripts on a local device that may emulate the remote commands. The scripts may include authentication and other security measures, as well as help information provided by the remote device. The scripts may be grouped as a module and may be stored in a local cache. The cache may be periodically validated and when updates are available, the cache may be updated with new versions.
