Hi azurite,
First, a suggestion: Don't be afraid to try things and watch what happens!
And, another suggestion: Instead of searching the web to try to figure out what a utility on your system will do, read the manual page for that utility on your system. For instance, the command:
will show you the manual page for the find utility on your system.
You still haven't told us what shell you're using.

Hello,
Thank you for the explanations. I think I'm beginning to understand it a bit better now. I work on ubuntu on the work computer so I can't really experiment right now lest I mess something up. I'm in the process of trying to install ubuntu on my laptop via virtualbox so hopefully I can start experimenting soon.
I think the work computer uses bash but I will check soon. Thank you for the instructions on how to do that.
I have one more question, I found this bit of commands in a tutorial that was somewhat related to my work and I was wondering if you could tell me what the command does?
Again, thank you for your assistance!

rbash
RBASH(1) General Commands Manual RBASH(1)NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1)RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is
used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow-
ing are disallowed or not performed:
o changing directories with cd
o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV
o specifying command names containing /
o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command
o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command
o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup
o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup
o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators
o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command
o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command
o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins
o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command
o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted.
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script.
