Learning UNIX on my own.
I need some major help here ... I dont know where to even begin on this example.
Create a file with the following lines (where the ? is replaced with the appropriate information):
My PC is running: kernel ? release ?
My account is on file system ?
The available space on my file system is ?
The directories for this course are using ? of disk space.
The type of this file is ?
This system has been running for ? days ? min.
My uid is ?
I belong to group(s) ?
Append to this file your search path
Append to this file a line of 40 dashes
Change your command prompt and append the new setting to this file
I started with the following but not even sure if it is correct.
echo "My PC is running: kernel" `uname -s' "release" `uname -r`
echo "My account is on file system" `df -T, --print-type`
echo "The available space on my file system is" `df -h` (df ~username)
echo "The directories for this course are using" `du` "of disk space"
echo "The type of this file is" `file`
echo "This system has been running for" `uptime`
echo "My uid is" `id`
echo "I belong to group(s)" `id -a`

You can do "df -t ~" to ensure you refer to your home directory. In bash, ~ means your home, ~fred is fred's home, ~root is root's home, and so on.
