If you paste this paragraph of commands to a terminal,
cat >testboot <<\E
#! /bin/bash
(date; ls -ld / /tmp /tmp/.{ICE,X11}-unix) >>ralph.txt
ls -ld / /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix
E
chmod a+x testboot
it will create `testboot' in the current directory and you can run it
with `./testboot'. You've created a shell script; a text file of
commands for the shell that's had its mode changed (chmod) to be
executable.
Cheers,
Ralph.
