Not quite a Unix-lookalike, but AmigaDOS was a mix of ideas - named
volumes (a bit) like in CP/M, multitasking (a bit) like in Unix (but
on my model, I only had M68K and no memory protection), command line
tools allowing for batch programming more sophisticated than what
MSDOS had on table (well, I really never got to the point of abusing
this).
The more unixy parts of AmigaDOS came from TRIPOS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIPOS
TRIPOS was originally developed by a team led by Martin Richards, who had
previously developed BCPL.
Also, Aztec C came with a suite of programs resembling
what I
could later find on Unix: cc, ld, make, ar and few others I forgot.
Also true for the Acorn / Norcroft ARM C Compiler on the Archimedes, which
was my first contact with unix-like tools :-)
