Run Your First Script

EasyLinux Fundamentals10-15 min
The brief

The text file /root/welcome.sh is a small script. Read it with cat, and inspect its permissions with ls -l. It starts without permission to run.

Make it executable by its owner. Keep its contents unchanged and do not grant write permission to the group or other users. Run it to create /root/welcome-receipt.txt, then check your work.

This is guided practice. All hints are free; there is no timer to beat.

What you'll do
  • Inspect and safely make welcome.sh executable
  • Keep the supplied script intact
  • Produce the welcome receipt
