put script into file
hi, ok having here some code like:
PHP Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo " hello "          # say hello to the user
echo " $HOME " 
echo " $HOSTNAME "
echo " $(uname) "
echo " today is $(date) "
echo " $(whoami) is currently logged in  " 
now my question is how to change the code so that the info is not displayed but sent to a file ?

I know its a basic thing for you but I am just beginning here so looking forward for your response . .. . .
thanks

Code:
(yourscript) > (output.file)

Since you know it was basic why did you not post your question in appropriate forum ?

There is a forum called for dummies you know, or is that offencing?

quick responses and actions Smilie vbe,

changed and it worked, thanks for that, but got follow up question...

code now looks like that

Quote:
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1

if [ -f $FILE ];then

echo " hello " >> file # say hello to the user
echo " $HOME " >> file
echo " $HOSTNAME " >> file
echo " $(uname) " >> file
echo " today is $(date) " >> file
echo " $(whoami) is currently logged in " >> file

else
touch file

fi
and my question is can these code be changed so I don't have to type " >> " in every line?

Code:
vi 006
i
#!/bin/bash
echo " hello "          # say hello to the user
echo " $HOME " 
echo " $HOSTNAME "
echo " $(uname) "
echo " today is $(date) "
echo " $(whoami) is currently logged in  "  
:wq
"006" [New file] 7 lines, 184 characters 
an12:/home/vbe $ chmod 750 006
an12:/home/vbe $ ./006 > 006.out
an12:/home/vbe $ more 006.out
