I'm a student, and I have a hard time completing this term assignment, if anyone could help me I would appreciate it very much. I did my best to do it but the output is not good. I use Win2000 Command prompt to connect via Telnet to Unix server at my college. For this assignment, I need to do the following: _____________________________________________ 1. Create a SHELL SCRIPT within your HOME DIRECTORY called ABScript that will: - Display the script name - Display all users currently logged onto the system - Display how many users are currently on the system (ie. add up the logged in users) 2. Create SHELL SCRIPT within your HOME DIRECTORY called CDScript that will: - Display the script name - Display the active processes - Start the Bourne Shell 3. Create SHELL SCRIPT within your HOME DIRECTORY called EFScript that will: - Display the script name - Display the active processes - Display a message that you are now calling up the KORN Shell - Call up the KORN Shell - Display the active processes - Display that you are going to terminate the KORN Shell - Terminate the KORN Shell - Display the active processes 4. Create a SHELL SCRIPT within your HOME DIRECTORY called BIGScript that will: - Display the script name - Execute ABScript, CDScript, EFScript - Display "END OF RUN" _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This is how I did it (but the output doesn't satisfy): 1st Script: echo "ABScript" who -H who -q 2nd: echo "CDScript" ps sh 3rd: echo "EFScript" ps echo "Now calling up the Korn Shell..." ksh ps echo "Now terminating the Korn Shell..." kill 4th: echo "BIGScript" ABScript CDScript EFScript echo "END OF RUN"

OK. Honesty gets you big points here. -----8-----cut here----8----- #!/bin/sh echo $0 cnt=`who | wc -l | awk '{ print $1 }'` who -H echo "$cnt users currently logged in" -----8-----cut here----8----- #!/bin/sh echo $0 ps -ef ( pwd ; ls -1 ; date ) -----8-----cut here----8----- Hope this helps.

cat EFscript #!/bin/sh KSH=`which ksh` echo "#!$KSH" > korn.sh cat > korn.sh echo "Starting KORN shell spawned process" set | grep -i shell= ps -ef echo "Ending KORN shell spawned process" EOT chmod ugo+rx korn.sh . ./korn.sh ps -ef

I don't want to put you down or anything, but I am not sure I beleive you that you "tried" Did you evel look on google ? Anyway, here is the code for the first one anyways. I hope it will get you started. ________________________________________ #!/bin/sh who echo " the num of us .... is: `who | wc -l`" echo $0 _________________________________________ line 1 starts the shell line 2 displays all users logged in line 3 the "| wc -l" (L) takes the output from wc -l (which counts the "words") and makes it the input for who. therefore you get the number of users line 4 prints the first thing you typed on the command line (ie the name of the script)
