Awesome, that worked! (I guess I got rid of the unnecessary whitespace and the necessary). Thanks.
I'm glad you mentioned that, I'm actually a bit confused with the different files. My UNIX teacher taught us ~/.profile was what you use, then the ubuntu forums explained you should use .bashrc for an assignment (like the one I did below).
My professor explained that its just because every linux/unix system is a bit unique, but I feel like there must be a more reasonable explanation for the different files - or at least a glossary/breakdown of the different ?daily-script-containers? somewhere ... no?
hello everybody,
I am trying to find the path of the Recycle Bin. I know that it's a temporary storage place, but it should have a path that we can refer to.
I want to know it because I sometimes use cygwin to work on Windows, and when you delete something with it, it's gone. I just checked... (4 Replies)
Hello,
I have having problems with an assignment and am pretty desperate. My assignment is to create a shell script that does a Recycle_Bin tasks. You can only open this with PuTTY software or Knoppix. Perhaps on other software that are able to read linux language.
My part is stuck... (2 Replies)

Hi,
Humorous UNIX Commands shows a fun way of using echo and dc to sort of obfuscate a string.

Hi.
I'm started to use minix 3.2.1 recently and I'm trying to create a recycle bin for it. I'm kinda struggling on how to do it. I searched internet and I found scripts created for it but I actually didn't learn how to create scripts in college and I'm not sure if I understand them. I just wanted... (1 Reply)
Hi.
I've created scripts for a recycle bin that can list, restore and empty it. I only have the problem of deleting two files with the same name. When I do it one file overwrite the other. What could I do to resolve it? The only thing I can think is asking the user to rename file before moving to... (2 Replies)

INTRO(1) BSD General Commands Manual INTRO(1)NAME
intro -- introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)
DESCRIPTION
Section one of the manual contains most of the commands which comprise the BSD user environment. Some of the commands included in section
one are text editors, command shell interpreters, searching and sorting tools, file manipulation commands, system status commands, remote
file copy commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler tools, formatted output tools, and line printer commands.
All commands set a status value upon exit which may be tested to see if the command completed normally. Traditionally, the value 0 signifies
successful completion of the command, while a value >0 indicates an error. Some commands attempt to describe the nature of the failure by
using exit codes as defined in sysexits(3), while others simply set the status to an arbitrary value >0 (typically 1).
