CLI and *NIX utilities

Is there any efforts being made to port a decent command prompt (CLI) and *NIX:ish utilities like top for UIQ?

Maybe it's irrelevant but being a sysadmin I really like to know CPU usage of my systems. 😊

Command prompt? You mean a shell,like bash? I dont think so.
Well,maybe an emulator.

A "top" clone shouldn't be to hard to port.

CLI, command line interface.
That means essentially a command prompy of any sort.
Be it BASH, be it CMD.EXE or whatever...

Yeah, care to port it? 😉

Do i!?!?! 😃
Well,i do,but i dont think i have the skill or the time.

If someone does port it,my guess is it will be some kind of top like frontend and not the real hardcore thing 😃

There was a version of MS DOS that you could run on the PSION 5 - any idea if this could be updated to work with Symbian 7?
