    DROP /tmp/directory2
    What is the problem you are trying to solve? Are you asking how to
    write a shell in Python?

    <pet peeve>
    How would I setup the interpreter to take the DROP command?
    You wouldn't... "setup" is a noun. You might "set up" an interpreter
    though.

    I've been reading and searching all day but I haven't found anything
    close to what I'm doing. I realize that using custom commands in
    this case is overkill but in the end is used to make the users life
    easier.
    How so? What could be easier than "rm -rf directory"?
    If anyone can point me to some documentation I would be more than
    grateful.
    I'd be happy to, but I can't imagine what sort of documentation would
    help you. It sounds like what you want to do, basically, is write a
    program to read commands from stdin, parse them to make sure the
    syntax is right, and then execute the equivalent code in Python.

    C:\>rm -rf directory
    Illegal command: rm.

    Hm. ;-)

        Yeah, except the application specified by the OP is to remove
        directories during a kickstart install of Linux... so your comment is
        worthless.
