       nxsh ?fileName?

DESCRIPTION

       nxsh ?fileName?
              nxsh  is  a shell-like application that reads NX and Tcl commands from its standard
              input or from fileName and evaluates them.  If invoked without  fileName,  then  it
              runs  in  REPL  mode,  reading  commands  from  standard input and printing command
              results and error messages to standard output.  It runs until the exit  command  is
              invoked or until it reaches end-of-file on its standard input.

              nxsh  can  be used like tclsh to make NX scripts directly invokable from the shell,
              by providing the following first line ("shebang") in the respective script:
              #! /usr/bin/env nxsh

              A (more portable) alternative is:
              #! /bin/sh
              # the next line restarts using nxsh \
              exec nxsh "$0" "$@"
