Now that ive got this down, it will use nearly 60 shell scripts. Ive got all of them made but the only difference is each shell script just copies to a different line of text to the end of a text file. Would it be possible to use a scipt similar to this but to have it randomly copy a line of text (actually its just one word) from a list of words to the end of a text file?

script
script(1) User Commands script(1)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

privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
