Pash - cross platform PowerShell is out in the wild! Announcement.
Posted by igormoochnick on April 6, 2008
Pash - http://pash.sourceforge.net/
PowerShell open source reimplementation for “others” (Mac, Linux, Solaris, etc…) and Windows (including Windows Mobile and Windows CE)
About the name
Pash = PoSH (PowerShell) + bash (one of the Unix shells)
Goals
The main goal is to provide a rich shell environment for other operating systems as well as to provide a hostable scripting engine for rich applications. The user experience should be seamless for people who are used to Windows version of PowerShell. The scrips, cmdlets and providers should runs AS-IS (if they are not using Windows-specific functionality). The rich applications that host PowerShell should run on any other operating system AS-IS. Secondary goal: the scripts should run across the machines and different OS’s seamlesly (but following all the security guidelines).
Environment
The current implementation of Pash is written using pure .Net 2.0. It compiles on VS 2008 as well as on Mono. So all the developers can choose the environment that fits their needs and preferences. The produced assemblies can be executed “right out of the box” on Windows, Linux, Mac (or others) without any additional recompilation. Note: for Windows Mobile and Windows CE the produced code should be recompiled against the .NET Compact Framework.
Progress
You’re welcome to get the source code and contribute to the Pash public effort @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/pash.
~50% of public PowerShell classes defined.
~40% of framework functionality operational.
Stay tuned for more detailed info. Trying to figure out how to produce the similar class diff that Mono project is using.
Screenshots
Windows (duh !..)
Pash on Mono + SuSE Linux
Pash on Compact .NET Framework
and (drum roll …) Pash on Mac

What I’m wondering is how useful this is going to be to manage Windows desktops from the Linux commandline. I guess that that would depend on the network infrastructure.
I guess I can always test it at home: when I find it working to my satisfaction, I can try it out at work.
Anyway, thanks!

I can’t tell you how many customers have been asking for this.
I think it will be quite popular.
We should figure out how to make sure that you are totally in synch with PS so that we don’t drive customers crazy.

What do you need help with?

From the screenshot, there seems to be a bug on the Mac.
Check the line:
11..14
It should output 11 12 13 14, but instead shows 17 18 19 20.

PowerShell for other platforms…
I love PowerShell (PoSh). It gives me (most of) the power of Perl, plus the DotNet framework(library), plus easy discoverability and debugging since all variables in PowerShell are objects with properties and methods.
Now PowerShell is available for M…

Did anyone see Grash? It’s pretty much power shell on JVM using the Groovy scripting language. Quite neat but development seems to have long stalled.

Thanks for noticing the bug in Mac. You’re welcome to open your first bug in SourceForge for Pash project.

There has been a lot of talk at the SharpOS project on wanting Powershell, but all of us being much to busy to start yet another side-project. (And Powershell is a beast all on its own!)
And it appears that someone not only has done it, but is doing it well. I can’t wait to try it out on my Linux VM, and I’m even more excited at the possibilities of integrating it into our 100% C# OS, down the road.
Very cool!

Will it run on iPhone?
Since OsX is supported, it begs the question.
April 29, 2008 at 10:19 am
According to Miguel, Mono now runs on iPhone - so Pash should run with no change. As soon as I’ll lay my hands on iPhone with Mono - I’ll give it a try.
