i5/OS PASE shells and utilities
</h1>
<p>
i5/OS<sup>(R)</sup> Portable Application Solutions Environment (<a href="../rzalf/rzalfintro.htm">i5/OS PASE</a>) includes three shells (Korn, Bourne,
and C Shell) and over 200 utilities that run as i5/OS PASE programs. i5/OS PASE shells and
utilities provide an extensible scripting environment that includes a large number of
industry-standard and defacto-standard commands.
</p>
<p>To become more familiar with i5/OS PASE shells and utilities, see the following topics.
You can also find information about <a href="rzalcwhatsnew.htm">what's new in this release</a>
and how you can <a href="rzalcprintme.htm">print this topic</a>.

<p><strong>Using the shells and utilities</strong></p>
<p>
The i5/OS PASE default shell (/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh) is the Korn shell.
</p>
<p>
A simple way to access i5/OS PASE shells and utilities is to call program
<a href="../apis/qp2term.htm">Run an i5/OS PASE Terminal Session</a> (QP2TERM), which presents an
interactive display with a command line that lets you enter i5/OS PASE commands. You can also
call program <A href="../apis/qp2shell.htm">Run any i5/OS PASE program</a> (QP2SHELL) to run
any i5/OS PASE program, including a shell or utility.
</p>
<p>
Many i5/OS PASE utilities have the same name (with similar options and behavior) as QShell
utilities in directory /usr/bin, so i5/OS PASE utilities are provided in directory
/QOpenSys/usr/bin or /QOpenSys/usr/sbin. The i5/OS PASE <strong>PATH</strong> environment
variable should generally include directories /QOpenSys/usr/bin, /QOpenSys/usr/bin/X11 and
/QOpenSys/usr/sbin when running an i5/OS PASE shell. See <A href="../apis/qp2shell.htm">Run any
i5/OS PASE program</a> (QP2SHELL) for information about setting initial values for i5/OS PASE
environment variables.
