metashell:About

From metashell

metashell is a lightweight, heavy punch, interactive, intelligent command-line shell. The amazing difference with metashell lies in its ability to determine a file's datatype, and automatically run your desired applications.

metashell uses file datatypes (mime types) to determine a files type, and then using user defined applications automatically opens the files. Making the user experience in a shell easier and more user-friendly, while adding robust power to the CLI gurus of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
