Question Help with Interactive / Non Interactive Shell script
Q. Write a script that behaves both in interactive and non interactive mode. When no arguments are supplied it picks up each C program from the directory and prints first 10 lines.
It then prompts for deletion of the file.
If user supplies arguments with the script , then it works on those files only.

Code :
Code:
ls -lrt *.C

Please elaborate it .

irunner

IRUNNER(1)																IRUNNER(1)

NAME

       irunner - interactive runner interface

SYNOPSIS

       irunner [options] file_to_run

DESCRIPTION

       irunner	is  an	interface to the various interactive runners available in IPython's irunner module.  It can used to run scripts as if they
       where typed up interactively.

       The already implemented runners are listed below; adding one for a new program is a trivial task, see the source for examples.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       --ipython
	      IPython interactive runner (default).

       --python
	      Python interactive runner.

       --sage SAGE interactive runner.

EXAMPLE

       irunner.py --python -- --help will pass --help to the python runner.  Similarly, irunner.py --ipython -- --interact script.ipy
