## Historique du projet et usages

execline is a small non-interactive scripting language from skarnet.org, designed as a predictable shell alternative for process supervision, startup scripts, and command chaining.

### Historique du projet

The official page describes execline as a scripting language like sh, but with substantially different syntax. Its design goal is predictable grammar and avoidance of shell-style security issues while retaining shell-level power through conditionals, loops, option handling, globbing, environment management, and process-control commands.

The public git tag list shows the 2.x series beginning with v2.0.0.0 about twelve years before June 2026. The upgrade notes record a major build-system change in 2.0.0.0 and continuing incremental additions through 2.9.x, including envfile, posix-cd, posix-umask, eltest, multicall support, and macOS shared-library support.

### Historique d'adoption

execline is part of the wider skarnet.org software ecosystem and depends on skalibs. It is packaged across Unix-like distributions and package managers, including Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, MacPorts, and others in the supplied package facts.

Its adoption is strongest among users of s6, runit-like supervision ideas, and minimal Unix service-management stacks, where explicit process state, file descriptor handling, and environment manipulation matter more than interactive shell convenience.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users write execlineb scripts or compose the provided commands directly. The command set covers parser/launcher behavior, process state control, environment files, fd operations, redirection, pipelines, foreground/background blocks, conditionals, loops, positional parameters, and option parsing.

The homepage includes example .profile replacement scripts and documents each command with consistent exit behavior: temporary errors exit 111, permanent misuse-style errors exit 100, failed exec lookup exits 127, and other exec failures exit 126.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

execline is package-nerd significant because it decomposes shell behavior into many small binaries with explicit process semantics. It fits the skarnet tradition of small composable tools for supervision and init-adjacent systems.

It is also a good example of a package where the binary list is the product: installing execline adds a vocabulary of tiny command primitives rather than one large interactive shell.

### Chronologie

- 2.0.0.0: Build system changed to the standard configure, make, install flow.
- 2.5.1.0: envfile command added.
- 2.5.3.0: posix-cd added and wait made POSIX-compliant.
- 2.9.1.0: eltest added.
- 2.9.2.0: Experimental multicall feature added.
- 2.9.8.0: Shared libraries supported on macOS.
- 2026: v2.9.9.1 tagged in the official git repository.

### Related projects

- skalibs is execline's required support library.
- The homepage lists official mirrors on Codeberg, GitHub, and SourceHut, and points users to skaware mailing-list discussion.
