This new version is implemented in Bash (instead of Python) as follows, wherein usage is inspired by
systemctl
, even though it doesn't run as a daemon but, rather, per login shell. It runs locally and automatically now, without any server.help50 start
sets$HELP50
to$$
, the PID of the shell in which the command was run and launchesscript
, which logs standard I/O to/tmp/help50.$$.typescript
.help50 stop
sendsSIGHUP
to the PID ofscript
.help50 status
checks for$HELP50
, which is set only whenhelp50
is started for a shell.help50 disable

.help50 is-enabled

./etc/profile.d/help50.sh

, which is a Bash function implemented therein that, if the most recent command exited with non-0 status (per$?
), checks for/tmp/help50.$HELP50.typescript
, passes it as standard input to each executable in/opt/cs50/lib/help50/
