About:
execline is a small, efficient scripting language designed to execute commands in a chain, similar to shell pipelines but without the overhead of a traditional shell interpreter. It provides a set of utilities for process management and environment manipulation, enabling fast and secure system scripting. Its primary value is in creating lightweight, reliable init systems and service supervision scripts.

Key Features:

Minimalist and memory-efficient design
No interpreter overhead; executes commands directly
Composable, pipeline-oriented utilities
Designed for security and reliability in system services

Use Cases:

Writing init scripts and service supervision chains
Creating lightweight, secure system utilities
Replacing shell scripts in resource-constrained environments

Alternatives:

bash – Traditional shell with more features and built-ins, but higher resource usage and complexity.
fish – User-friendly shell with scripting features, but designed for interactive use rather than minimalism.
