11.1.   Commands for ucsh

The ucsh program gives you access to a number of special commands that UCs need.

To run it, you must first connect to userhost via ssh. Then type the command ucsh:

    $ ucsh
    ucsh(userhost)#

Pressing tab twice will give you a listing of all possible completions of the current line. If you have an empty line, it will list all the commands you can run for the machine you're running on (in case you forget the name of a program).
