I currently working on something called 'Unixify' which should add Unix-Like programs/commands. The programs are for e.g. located in /root/myprograms/, but I want them to be executeable from anyhwere. How is this possible?

You could use a collection of aliases to call programs by another name. Examples are "ls" and "mv" which respectably run the programs "list" and "move". The shell API has the abilities for aliases to be managed within programs. Find some of that information here: http://www.computercraft.info/wiki/Shell_(API)
