Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions Having issues finishing up a few scripting problems. A little help would be awesome Post 302919928 by megachuk on Sunday 5th of October 2014 05:10:12 PM

How about this.

I've tried reading my book and googling. I'm not sure how to even use the "env" command. Let's begin by explaining in layman's terms and perhaps an example. I'm sure if it's explained with something for me to look at, I'll have a better understanding of how to do this.

I actually don't want it done for me. I'm in an accelerated class right now where we don't get ANY explanation of anything. I appreciate the help already though.

EDIT:

Here, I tried this, but it gives me a syntax error.
Code:
pwd
var=$ ( pwd )
if var = $HOME
then
echo you are in the home directory
else
echo you are not in the home directory
