From the description of Drupal Terminal project I could not tell if it could be used (and how) instead of shell access. Guessing all commands would not be accessible, but page does not go into informing what is needed to have this.

I would love to use Drush and I see some work being done in that direction http://drupal.org/node/497320
but it is not explicit where at is it now and what is needed for this to function? maybe one time shell access to install Drush or something more?

Best wishes - Zeljko

No, it is not meant to replace the shell access, at least its really far from that at the moment. Using drush might be possible because its still PHP code, so we could bypass shell alltogether. Frankly I don't feel comfortable with allowing arbitrary programs exec-ed, feels like a great security risk.

Hm...
Hope I got it right...basically Drush could be available through Drupal Terminal (?correct)
But would Drush also needed to be installed?

thank you for fast reply!

Sorry for the late reply, yes, that is correct. Drush needs to be available. There is a contrib folder in the terminal module, it contains the necessary glue code to invoke drush when terminal commands are issued.
