For example instead of adding the word foo to the last line of the txt fiel which is what i initiially wanted i want to have a list of words that it can choose from.
foo
hello
cat
cow
pineapple
The script chooses a random word from the above and adds it to the last line of the text file instead of just having it add a one flat word every time. I dont know where the words would be stored, i suppose it would read them from a txt file o the random list would be in the script itself.

Lets say I wanted to create a script that would show what people are doing on my machine using the w command and refresh in about 6 seconds. What would be the easiest way to do this? I pretty much want the script to loop until I stop it.
I'm using the BASH shell by the way.
Help is appreciated.... (1 Reply)
