Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
33
resh
growingv0.1.3
A restricted shell that only allows execution of previously defined aliases
46
mash-ssh
experimentalv0.5.0
Control multiple SSH sessions from a single interactive shell
44
motd
growingv0.2.2
motd interrogates pam_motd.so in order to determine the current message of the day. It only works on linux and it is a component of the shpool tool, though you can also use the dump-motd wrapper CLI tool directly. Through feature selection, you can also use a pure rust impl with no dlopen shennigans.
