I try to do this question, please can u tell me the answer to be sure of my answer ( A shell script should be named insert_record.sh and its purpose is to insert a record into a database. It accepts one argument, which is the DATABASE_NAME. The insert_record.sh script should then prompt the user for the values of the fields in that database. After that the script should read in the field values and append these values in a new line to the end of the DATABASE_NAME.db file. Finally, the script should print a message that the new database record has been added. For instance, below is an example session of using the insert_record.sh script. ( the green field values would be entered by the user.) $ ./insert_record.sh svu ENTER VALUES FOR name age weight: [COLOR="SeaGreen"]Ahmad 42 75[/COLOR] RECORD ADDED TO " svu" DATABASE. If the DATABASE_NAME does not exist in the databases.txt file or the DATABASE_NAME.db does not exist, then you should print an appropriate error message and exit. ) Thank you
