This category consist of a command-line interpreter or shell that provides a traditional user interface for the Unix operating system and for Linux / Ect. systems.
That concepts for operating systems. It is both an interactive command language as well as a scripting programming language, and is used by the operating system as the facility to control (shell script) the execution of the system. Shells created for other operating systems than Unix, often provide similar functionality.
