What is a command interpreter and why is it separate from the kernel?
A command interpreter is an interface of the operating system with the user. The user gives commands with are executed by operating system (usually by turning them into system calls). The main function of a command interpreter is to get and execute the next user specified command. Command-Interpreter is usually not part of the kernel, since multiple command interpreters (shell, in UNIX terminology) may be support by an operating system, and they do not really need to run in kernel mode. There are two main advantages to separating the command interpreter from the kernel. 1. If we want to change the way the command interpreter looks, i.e., I want to change the interface of command interpreter, I am able to do that if the command interpreter is separate from the kernel. I cannot change the code of the kernel so I cannot modify the interface. 2. If the command interpreter is a part of the kernel it is possible for a malicious process to gain access to certain part of the kernel that it showed not have to avoid this ugly scenario it is advantageous to have the command interpreter separate from kernel
Why is command interpreter usually separate from the kernel?
The command interpreter is usually separate from the kernel in case it fails. Either the interpreter or kernel could fail independently without affecting each other.

What is the purpose command Interpreter and why it is usually separate from the kernel?
It reads commands from the user or from a file of commands and executes them, usually by turning them into one or more system calls. It is usually not part of the kernel since the command interpreter is subject to changes.
How can you check the version of kernel you are currently running and upgrade the kernel?
These are separate and unrelated tasks. To check the version of the running kernel in Linux, use the command uname -r. To upgrade the kernel, either use your distro's package manager (if any) to update the system, or download and compile the Linux kernel source.
Definition of OS Kernel Shell?
The kernel and the shell are two different parts of the OS or operating system. The shell interprets the commands from input. The kernel houses the heart of the OS like the command files and execute applications.
How can you tell what filesystems your kernel supports?

What part of the dos command structure is responsible for loading msdossys during a dos boot?
