2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
awk commands

3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

Code:

#!/bin/sh

echo "What type of file's contents would you like for me to print? 1 - apache.log, 2 - apache.error.log"
read NUM

case $NUM in
	1) # Print out apache.log's contents ;;
	2) # Print out apache.error.log's contents ;;
