Project Modules or External Scripts

Nicholas "Tiger" Gautier edited this page Apr 16, 2016 · 1 revision

Bootless Star allows executing module scripts and regular shell scripts, but there's a difference as to how the environment works. Moreover, as with installing any software from the internet, always be careful! No matter what script is used, it is easy to trick the user and slip a del command to the root of the drive. Please check user's responses and glance over the scripts before installing them! Bootless Star does NOT run any checks on incoming scripts.

Project Modules

Project Modules, are essentially shell scripts that are specifically designed to work with Bootless Star. With that dependency, they need Bootless Star's environment. This environment alone gives the scripts the possibility to view the users settings and other configurations set by Bootless Star. Module scripts, since they require this dependency, they can not work independently as they heavily use Bootless Star's shared settings to perform operations.

External Scripts

These are essentially shell scripts that can work independently. When executed from Bootless Star, Bootless Star will not share its environment with the external scripts. Thus, meaning, the settings set by the user and Bootless Star's configurations wont be accessible. This will avoid any exploits towards the user and the environment that Bootless Star provides.
