When I input gedit Repository.sh into the terminal it will open the text editor in another window, unless I have already got a file open in gedit by using Applications > Text Editor

When I attempted this, with identical code except I use gedit rather than vi it returned:
gedit Repository.sh & PID=$!; sleep 10; jobs $PID; sleep 10; fg $PID

adam@adam-VirtualBox:~/Systems$ gedit Repository.sh
adam@adam-VirtualBox:~/Systems$ echo "File closed."
File closed.


I didn't need to close the file or anything - whereas when I use a...

Sorry, I didn't really understand what you meant. When running those commands in the terminal this was the result:
adam@adam-VirtualBox:~/Systems$ gedit ex_03.sh & PID=$!

Hi again, still struggling with this. All the solutions I see online seem to be working for everyone else but not me! They always return that the process is active initially and then return that it...

After making the changes you suggested to my program the first error I recieved was:
Makefile:2: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.
This was because I copy and...

Okay, so after playing around with it I have changed the way the Makefile is created to:
populateMFiles () {
echo '
clean:
rm -rf cfile.out
build:
gcc -g -Wall -pedantic -Wextra...

Running the populateMFiles | od -c returned:
0000000 c l e a n : \n r m - r
0000020 f c f i l e . o u t \n b u i l

clean:
rm -rf cfile.out...

With the code altered to read:
# Populate makefile with example code
populateMFiles () {
echo 'clean:
rm -rf cfile.c cfile.out
build:
gcc -g -Wall -pedantic -Wextra cfile.c -w -o...
