There is no need to apologize, and we are not averse to answering your questions. I am just pointing out that much of your confusion appears to be because in the text you are getting from your friends as samples to evaluate, you cannot see the difference between what the system will type as a prompt for you to enter commands and as output produced by your commands versus what you will type into the system in response to prompts from your shell. If you could login to a system and type in a few commands much of this would be immediately obvious.

A half hour sitting at a keyboard and trying some of these commands would easily save you days of time guessing at what a command is supposed to do.

NAME
acsadmin - ION Aggregate Custody Signal (ACS) administration interface SYNOPSIS
acsadmin [ commands_filename ] DESCRIPTION
acsadmin configures aggregate custody signal behavior for the local ION node. It operates in response to ACS configuration commands found in the file commands_filename, if provided; if not, acsadmin prints a simple prompt (:) so that the user may type commands directly into standard input. The format of commands for commands_filename can be queried from acsadmin with the 'h' or '?' commands at the prompt. The commands are documented in acsrc(5). EXIT STATUS
0 Successful completion of ACS administration. EXAMPLES
acsadmin Enter interactive ACS configuration command entry mode. acsadmin host1.acs Execute all configuration commands in host1.acs, then terminate immediately. FILES
See acsrc(5) for details of the ACS configuration commands. ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables apply. DIAGNOSTICS
Note: all ION administration utilities expect source file input to be lines of ASCII text that are NL-delimited. If you edit the acsrc file on a Windows machine, be sure to use dos2unix to convert it to Unix text format before presenting it to acsadmin. Otherwise acsadmin will detect syntax errors and will not function satisfactorily. The following diagnostics may be issued to the logfile ion.log: acsadmin can't attach to ION. There is no SDR data store for acsadmin to use. You should run ionadmin(1) first, to set up an SDR data store for ION. Can't open command file... The commands_filename specified in the command line doesn't exist. Various errors that don't cause acsadmin to fail but are noted in the ion.log log file may be caused by improperly formatted commands given at the prompt or in the commands_filename file. Please see acsrc(5) for details. BUGS
