Research direction

Start by locating the command support list and the documentation description, then inspect how unsupported commands such as shx fuser -k 4200/tcp are handled. Done means the supported commands are documented and additional Linux command support is implemented and verified for the reported port-killing example.

commands tested and confirmed to be not supported
