Can you call external programs like GCC with eshell?
Why are people downvoting this question? OP seems legitimately confused.
Yes? It's a shell
I have this funny anecdote.
A remote system I was working on has a malfunction: taskbar dead; windows blocked; super-key did’t activate anything. I had just a Emacs window open.
I ran eshell and then “shutdown -r now” and the system restarted.
Great moment with surprised colleagues :-) it was 2020
