I want to do some shell trickery so that when a user enters a command like:
ls -l
the command is forwarded to another program as an argument. That is,
what actually gets executed is:
myprog "ls -l"
Is there a way to do that? Basically I want to use bash as transparent
front end for another program (actually a command parser for some custom
hardware), while keeping the handy editing and history abilities of bash.
Any suggestions (other than writing my own stripped down and customized
shell, which I know is an option)?
