Why shell is not a part of operating system?
Because if it was, the system would be MUCH more prone to crashing(also known as Microsoft Windows).Actually, a shell IS part of an operating system. "Operating System" encompassing not just the kernel, but also a standard set of utilities and libraries which provide a defined API.For example, the UNIX Operating system include the Bourne Shell as a part of its specification, as well as a specific C library, and filesystem utilities such as 'ls', 'grep', etc.Obviously, as there a large number of shells around, a specific shell may NOT be part of a specific Operating System.
Why is the shell not part of the operating system itself?
Operating systems do 2 things: (1). Providing an easier abstraction layer (system calls) for user programs to access the real HW machine. (2). It manages the system resource. It this view, the shell is not considered as part of the operating system because: (1). It acts as a interpreter(from user command to system calls) only, and (2). It runs in user mode, and (3). It is highly possible to replace the shell if you don't like one.
