Question

Here is your chance to be creative. Craft your own shell script that has 6 different actions. For example, listing the current directory would be one, displaying the date to STDOUT would be a second. You do not get to use those examples, so make up your own.

Copy your script here and submit a screenshot of the executed script from a terminal window.

Answer 1

# mkdir for making new directory
mkdir newdir

# cd for changing directory
cd newdir

# pwd for printing current working directory
pwd

# touch for creating a newfile
touch newfile

# echo with redirection
echo This is a new file > newfile

# grep to search keyword 'new' in newfile
grep new newfile

The above script performs six of the most basic operations in shell. These are:

1. mkdir for making new directory

2. cd for changing directory

3. pwd for printing current working directory

4. touch for creating a newfile

5. echo with redirection

6. grep to search pattern in a file
