Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:

Write a bash shell script that presents work information of employees of a department from a company data set. The bash script file should be called "extract" and should be invocable as

$ ./extract

from the command line. The company data set layout is presented in six data files with the following field descriptions.

The script should accept a project number (1/2/3/10/20/30) and output

* the name of the project
* the name of the manager of the controlling department of the project
* the total number of employee work hours on that project
* the total number of dependents of all employees who work on that project.

Also, the script should prompt the user and repeat the task for another project number if requested.

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:

Here is a sample output for the script. You may need to use the following Linux commands: awk, cut, echo, for, grep, if, join, let, read, sort, tr, trap, wc, while . Make sure to sort the input files of join commands on the join fields.

mktemp

mktemp(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 						mktemp(3C)

NAME

       mktemp - make a unique file name  from a template

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       char *mktemp(char *template);

DESCRIPTION

       The  mktemp() function replaces the contents of the string pointed to by template with a unique file name, and returns template. The string
       in template should look like a file name with six trailing 'X's; mktemp() will replace the 'X's with a character string that can be used to
       create a unique file name. Only 26 unique file names per thread can be created for each unique template.

RETURN VALUES

       The mktemp() function returns the pointer template. If a unique name cannot be created, template points to a null string.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Generate a filename.

       The  following example replaces the contents of the "template" string with a 10-character filename beginning with the characters "file" and
       returns a pointer to the "template" string that contains the new filename.

	 #include <stdlib.h>
	 ...
	 char *template = "/tmp/fileXXXXXX";
	 char *ptr;
	 ptr = mktemp(template);

USAGE

       Between the time a pathname is created and the file opened, it is possible for some other process to create a file with the same name.  The
       mkstemp(3C) function avoids this problem and is preferred over this function.
