I take that back, poor wording, it's a shell "powered by" google :P

A friend showed me this not too long ago, Google has a pretty neat shell
like search feature, http://goosh.org/. Might want to give that a try

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but it's funny you ask...
I just gave this same idea some thought last night...

I used to run a BBS and once the internet started to gain in popularity I
made it available over the web via a Java-Telnet client embedded into the
web-page. Not something I'd want to do now-a-days.

If you are looking for that "shell look" through a web language such as
HTML, JAVA, PHP, etc... It would be rather easy to write an HTML FORM with
a text field as the "command line" when the form is "submitted" a form value
such as "cd downloads" could be interpreted by the form processor as :

if (isset($_POST['command']){
if ($_POST['command'] == 'cd downloads'){ echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="1; url=./downloads">'; }
elseif ($_POST['command'] == 'cd music'){ echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh"
content="1; url=./music">'; }
} else { echo 'Bad command or filename...'; }

**Now, just include the form in all pages**

That example is off the top of my head and far from complete...

Obviously you will need to understand HTML Forms and a language such as PHP
to do this. Good Luck.

I went to a website one time, which looked like a Unix shell. I'd like

to go back there and look at how the guy did it, but I can't for the

life of me remember what site it was, and Google didn't
 help.

  

Anyone know the site?
