Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions Creating a .profile, displaying system variables, and creating an alias Post 302785123 by hanson44 on Sunday 24th of March 2013 10:41:21 PM

It would be best if you could include an example, in code tags, of what you have tried so far.

For example, here's start of my .profile (nothing to do with your solution). Send a sample that tries to do your assignment.
Code:
# echo Entering .profile ...

umask 002

working_on_book=n

export     HISTSIZE=10000
export HISTFILESIZE=10000
export  HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

To figure out where the password file is, try "man passwd" and look around the man page.

Your profile will live in the .profile file in your home directory, so you can just print that. If you have to append the commands to the .profile that's pretty primitive. If you know how to use some kind of editor, it would be a lot more convenient for you.
