What You Need to Do

• Create the script hw4.sh with Unix commands that will do what is described in the steps below
• This file must be in an hw4 directory under your hw directory

Setup

• From your home directory go to your it244 directory

  cd it244

• Go to your hw directory

  cd hw

• Create an hw4 directory

  mkdir hw4

• Enter this new directory

  cd hw4

• Create hw4.sh

  nano hw4.sh

Specification

• Run nano to create hw4.sh
• Into this file write the Unix commands for each step
• The commands for each step must by labeled with a Step number
• Write # followed by the word "Step" and the step number

1. Using one Unix command, go to my home directory using tilde, ~.
2. Using one Unix command, go to your home directory using tilde, ~.
3. You should be in your home directory.
   Using one Unix command, go to your hw4 directory inside your hw directory, inside your it244 directory using a relative pathname.
4. Using one Unix command, go to my home directory using an absolute pathname.
5. Using one Unix command, go to the it244_files directory inside the course_files directory, inside my home directory, using an absolute pathname.
6. Using one Unix command, go to my home directory using relative pathname using one or more instances of .. .
7. Using one Unix command, go to your home directory.
   Once you are there go to your it244 directory using a relative pathname.
   
8. You should be in your it244 directory.
   Using touch create a file named test.txt.
   Go to your hw4 directory.
   Using .. stay in your hw4 directory but list the contents of your it244 directory.
   
9. Stay in your hw4 directory and copy the test.txt file from your it244 directory to your hw4 directory using a relative pathname.
   
10. Using one Unix command go to your home directory.
    Using one Unix command, copy the test.txt file from your it244/hw/hw4 directory to your home directory.
    

Testing

• There are two tests that your should run on your script
• The first test checks for Unix errors
• Run bash on your script like this

  bash hw4.sh > /dev/null

• This will run your script but will only show error messages
• If you see nothing, your script has passed this test
• The second test checks your Step comments
• Run it like this

  ~ghoffman/code/it244_code/testing_scripts_it244/step_comment_check.sh

• When you run this script you must supply your username and homework number
• If your Step comments are wrong you will lose points
