Pludi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried to send you a PM explaining the situation. Unfortunately I could not.
So:
Are you using PuTTY to connect to that machine?
No, i can not connect to that machine from my unclassified computer. I am doing the pen and paper drill.
Am I right in assuming that you called this script without parameters?
yes, just ./
And that you wrote it using Notepad?
Yes, i wrote it in notepad on the unclass machine and brought it over to the other machine.
How are you transferring the file?
They are for this conversation just in the file location on the UNIX machine.
Thank you for your continued support. When i get back in I will try the code you mentioned. Thanks
Scott

systemd-machine-id-commit.service
SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID-COMMIT.SERVICE(8) systemd-machine-id-commit.service SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID-COMMIT.SERVICE(8)
NAME
systemd-machine-id-commit.service - Commit a transient machine ID to disk
SYNOPSIS
systemd-machine-id-commit.service
DESCRIPTION
systemd-machine-id-commit.service is an early boot service responsible for committing transient /etc/machine-id files to a writable disk
file system. See machine-id(5) for more information about machine IDs.
This service is started after local-fs.target in case /etc/machine-id is a mount point of its own (usually from a memory file system such
as "tmpfs") and /etc is writable. The service will invoke systemd-machine-id-setup --commit, which writes the current transient machine ID
to disk and unmount the /etc/machine-id file in a race-free manner to ensure that file is always valid and accessible for other processes.
See systemd-machine-id-setup(1) for details.
The main use case of this service are systems where /etc/machine-id is read-only and initially not initialized. In this case, the system
manager will generate a transient machine ID file on a memory file system, and mount it over /etc/machine-id, during the early boot phase.
This service is then invoked in a later boot phase, as soon as /etc has been remounted writable and the ID may thus be committed to disk to
make it permanent.
