We will surely not do all of your work for you but if there is particular questions, just try it. People will surely give some answers.
Also it will be helpful for yourself to get some reading and trying out on shell scripts if this is your task. There are plenty of resources for beginners on the web.

Advice or not, if it's homework-related you should post in the homework forum and follow the homework rules.

We really have to work that way. To prevent accusations of cheating everything must be on the level. It's the only way we can ethically help with homework at all.
