4.9 Run BSD Shell
To access the BSD shell as shown in Figure 4–54, enter ‘6’ at the Freeway Interactive
Menu. The BSD shell allows you to interactively run BSD Unix commands on the Free-
way server. Access to the BSD shell provides a powerful interface that could cause the
Freeway to crash if used improperly. Therefore, you should use caution when entering
shell commands as a “root” or “shell” user. Protogate recommends that you avoid using
shell commands (other than the commands given in this document) unless you have at
least a working knowledge of the BSD Unix operating system. To exit the shell, type
“exit” at the shell prompt and hit return.
Note
The Run FreeBSD Shell option is not displayed when a user is
logged in with “display only” access.
After you enter ‘6’ at the Freeway Interactive Menu, a pound sign (#) prompt will be dis-
played if you logged in as a “root” user, otherwise a dollar sign ($) prompt will be dis-
played.
