1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data: I am trying to write a shell script that prompts the user for the password which is "lux" once the correct password has been typed it then needs to list files and folders in the home directory and save it to a text file. If the user types the password wrong 3 times it displays a message and closes the terminal window. If the password was typed correctly after it lists the files and folders in home directory it then needs to ask the name of the user and it inserts it and the date in the first and second lines of the file.
At the end it shows a message about being done with the process.
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms: This is what I have so far but I am stuck I get a error message " unexpected error at ln 9" after I type the password.
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
