What Is Software-as-a-Service?

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a software licensing model in which access to the software is provided on a subscription basis, with the software being located on external servers rather than on servers located in-house. Software-as-a-Service is typically accessed through a web browser, with users logging into the system using a username and password. Instead of each user having to install the software on their computer, the user is able to access the program via the internet.

A command line interface (CLI) is a text-based user interface (UI) used to view and manage computer files. Command line interfaces are also called command-line user interfaces, console user interfaces and character user interfaces.

 

An explanation of a shell

The software that handles the command line interface is the shell, also commonly referred to as a command language interpreter. Two well-known shells are Windows shell and Bash for Linux and macOS.

Shells are the outermost layer of the OS and are often separated from the underlying OS kernel. A shell operates like an application and can be replaced. Because the shell is only one layer above the OS, users can perform operations that are not available in other interface types, such as moving files within system folders and deleting locked files.

Shells require users to know the syntax of a scripting language. Most command line shells save sequences of commands for reuse in a script, which is the foundation of basic systems management automation.

 

A list of commands in the Microsoft task configuration and automation framework PowerShell:

• Get-Date: Retrieves the current time and date.
• cd: Used to change directories.
• Get-NetIPAddress

WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable target for compilation of high-level languages like C/C++/Rust, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications.
