I have been given an assignment for school, and well, I have no idea how to do it. Linux was not a pre-requisite for this class, and our book does not cover this or Linux at all. Our teacher still thinks we should somehow know how to do this. I have to write this in a UNIX prompt thing I telnet into, it says Red Hat Release 7.2 (Enigma) at the top. Below that it says Kernel 2.4.9-34smp on an i686.

I have looked all over the net at shell script tutorials but none have helped me progress to any point. I am not asking anyone to do my homework for me, I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I do not know anyone with linux or anyone who even uses it. I do not know what to do and I have nothing to turn to for help.

This is what is expected of me by tomorrow night:

--------
2. Create a Linux batch file that at login time would set up your session’s environment so that the following “new” commands could be used for the standard Linux operating systems commands. Test the file to make sure that it works. Append this batch file to the above-mentioned Word file.

A. System prompt is changed to YOURLASTNAME (10 points)

B. Ultrix commands are replaced by the following (=> means replaced by): (30 points)

1) file copy => fcp

2) file rename => frn

3) file delete => fdl

4) create directory => cdr

5) change directory => dchg

6) display contents of a directory => dcd

7) delete directory => ddel

8) display date and time => ddt

9) go to mail => gml

10) logoff => out
