Shell script programming help
I'm new to this and I need help with writing a script. The following assignment is as follows...
Create a shell script named Project3-8 located in a directory supported by the File System Hierarchy Standard.
The script needs to perform the following pseudocode in the order shown:
-Display the list of current users sequentially followed by the current directory -Display the list of current users as a background process
-Update the modification time of a file named cactus.dat
-Issue the command to display a message indicating a file named cactus.dat was removed only if the command to remove it succeeds
-Issue the command to display a message indicating a file named cactus.dat was not removed only if the command to temove it fails
-Display a long listing of the /pos420directory one screen at a time
I'm using PuTTY logged in Linux Server (Excalibur)
Any input on how to get started would help greatly.
Thanks

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
