Part 2
- Look at your command history for the last session, experiment using
previous commands using
! operator.
- Create copies of all the verse files but give them an extension of
.txt and place them in a new directory called verse_texts,
use manipulation of command history to do this.
- Create an alias called
dir which will list all the files
in the given directory in long format.
- Write an alias called
h which will display the history
in reverse order (i.e. last command first using the -r flag
for the command history) pausing after each full screen.
- How many processes have you got that are currently running? Use
man
tcsh for information about the tcsh, suspend the job and then bring
it to the foreground again. Use >man -t tcsh>
tcsh.ps &
to create a postscript version of the
tcsh manual pages in the background. How long did this job take?
Run man tcsh again and this time suspend the job. Kill the
job.
- Pipe the list of environment variables through
more. What
is the current default PRINTER? Reset the value of PRINTER
to userarea. Send a copy of the file .cshrc to the default
printer Don't forget to collect the copy later!!
- Read the file
.cshrc and use the instructions in it to
reset the shell variable prompt to display the current directory.
- Create an alias
lo for the command logout
and use it to logout!!
