1.'~' in the shell

ls ~ # lists your home directory
ls ~me # will try to list the home directory of someone with a login name of 'me'
user=you
ls ~$user # will try to list the home directory of someone with a login name of 'you'
ls ~/MyDir # will try to list the 'MyDir' directory (or file) of my $HOME directory
ls ~root/bin # will list the 'bin' directory of '/' (becouse '/' is $HOME directory for the root)

PS:
in all the constructions '~' have to be very first character to get proper shell expansion
look at the 'Directory Substitution' under man for shell


2. ping question

Find location of the ping command ('which ping' or 'type ping' depending on your shell).
Examine directory attributes of the 'ping' location ( 'ls -l directoryname`)
If this directory is not readable or not executable by the 'world',
then copy ping to the common location ( 'usr/bin' )

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
atf-sh(3) BSD
