Show us sample input. Show us sample output that you want from that input. Clearly describe why that output should be produced from the sample input you show us. Look at the man pages for grep and awk. Show us what code you have used to try to solve these problems. (Use CODE tags when you show us all of the sample input, output, and code.)

Tell us what OS and shell you're using.

If you aren't willing to show us that you're willing to put some effort into this yourself, there isn't much incentive for us to do your work for you. We're happy to help you learn how to use the tools available on UNIX and Linux systems to perform the tasks you want to get done. We are not here to act as your unpaid programming staff.

netris-sample-robot

netris-sample-robot(6)						Netris Sample Robot					    netris-sample-robot(6)

NAME

       netris-sample-robot - sample robot for netris

SYNOPSIS

       netris-sample-robot [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       The  netris-sample-robot is a sample implementation of the robot protocol. It plays quite well but isn't too hard to beat. The robot should
       be started from netris with the option -r to connect or wait for another player to join. You can also let  two  robots  play  against  each
       other in that way, if you like.

OPTIONS

       -l     Writes some log information into the file log in the current working directory. If it can't it bails out.

EXAMPLES

       To start the netris-sample-robot waiting for another connection with logfile use the following line:
	      netris -w -r 'netris-sample-robot -l'

       You then just have to start netris somewhere else which connects to that robot.

SEE ALSO

       netris(6)

BUGS

       One known bug of the netris-sample-robot is that it hangs quite often.  This was already filed as a bugreport against the package so please
       refrain from doing so again. If you have an idea why this happens or know a solution how to fix it feel free to mail us.

AUTHORS

       Netris was written by Mark H. Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.

       This manual page was written by Gerfried Fuchs <alfie@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
