UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hello,

is there a way that i can produce a shell script without using editors..
i want it to be executable by sh....
my problem is that i dont know how to create the script eg. psycho to put the echo inside to output my message... but i dont want to use editor

i know that there is a way to produce a shell script using the cat command.
heres how

cat >psycho
echo -n "hello psycho"
but when executing it the output is written next to the login name

hello psycho psycho@psycho-laptop:

Where would you like to see the output?

just in an empty line like where the output of

Code:

cat myfile

when we want to see the contens of the files is dispalayed in an empty line ...

Your use of "echo -n" is what leaves off the final newline from the output. Take out the -n and it should work (if I understand you correctly).

yeap it WORKSSS
THANXXXX

CAN U HELP ME WITH THOSE TOO ERA???
Without using an editor, modify your shell script so that, after displaying the greeting, it waits for exactly two minutes, and then displays the word “goodbye”.
Execute your modified script in the background so that its output appears in a file ‘hibye'.
Before the above command finishes, execute a command which waits (does nothing) for 10 minutes. Stop (but do not kill) this process. Then, before your shell script finishes executing, display a list of current jobs and kill the ‘do nothing' job.
Bring your shell script job into the foreground and wait for it to finish.

Is this a homework question? If so, we can't help you, have a read of the:

Assuming that it's not, what is the real world problem of your question?
