Shell Programming and Scripting

And what is the filename?

I created a new file named "hello" and then I wrote the code there . . . Please help me I just need to create a file or command that show my change of directories history :|

please post the content of 'hello' (using code tags)

echo $0

that's it huhuhuh

This means that you are supposed to type this command and report on the output. I start out with this in my command window:

Code:

$

That $ is a prompt. It means that I can type a command. So I start:

Code:

$ echo

At this point I have typed "e", "c", "h", "o" and now I need to press the space bar. Then I can type the rest of the command.

Code:

$ echo $0

Now when I enter the "Enter" button the command will be run and it will display some output.

But I should not just say "it produced some output" or "it typed some stuff" or even "it showed the name of my shell". We want the exact output. Character by character. We do not want a summary or a general description of the output.

So the ideal response to vgersh99's question is to do something like this:

Code:

$ echo $0
-ksh
$

At this point vgersh99 would know that my shell is actually ksh. Now you need to do that same thing. Get a prompt from your shell. Type in echo $0. And then report back with the answer you got. I have faith in you. I think that you can do this.

Lol. thanks for that!! Anyway it says "Bash"

It probably doesn't say 'Bash', but rather 'bash'.
It's better to copy/paste the exact commands and the associated output using the code tags.

ok, good. Now post the content of your 'hello' script, please.
