Hey Stale, Thanks much! I got things working I think. But take a look at AeshAddonTest. I have implemented a naive wait system so that the test can assert on output, but this isn't idea. One idea I had was: you could pass some input, and provide a callback that waits for the shell to return a status code for the given command, but I don't think this would be very robust. I know you had some ideas about how to do shell testing well, so perhaps you can look at what I've done and comment. Also, it looks like Console never returns the result (there is no way to verify the result) of "readConsoleOutput()" in ConsoleCallback. Thoughts about this would also be appreciated! Thanks Stale :) We can sit together on this Monday, Lincoln ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ståle W.
