- 8. Created by Stephen Bourne, the Bourne Shell is a useful shell even today and in some cases, as the default root shell. Its grammar is very similar to the Algorithmic Language (ALGOL). The Bourne shell had two primary goals: serve as a command interpreter and for scripting. Bourne Shell www.edureka.co sh 1977
- 9. The C shell was developed by Bill Joy with the objective of achieving a scripting language similar to C programming language. This was useful given that C was a primary language in use back then which also made it easier and faster to use. C Shell www.edureka.co csh 1978
- 10. Developed by David Korn, the Korn Shell combined features of both Bourne Shell and C Shell. It is backward compatible with the former. It includes features from the C Shell such as job control, command aliasing & command history. Korn Shell www.edureka.co ksh 1983
- 11. Started out as a derivative of the C Shell but with a programmable command line completion and editing features added to it. TENEX C Shell www.edureka.co tcsh 1983
- 12. One of the most widely used shell, today, it was written by Brian Fox for the GNU project as a pre software replacement for the Bourne Shell. Shows all features from the Bourne shell but is much more efficient and easy to use. It supports filename globbing, piping, command substitution, and control structures for conditional testing and iteration. Bourne-Again Shell www.edureka.co bash 1989
