When I use random command in command line, the message is shown:
random: denominator is not valid.

i don't have a random command on my system, but why don't you try

Code:

man random

this is part of the package bsdgames, see here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/.../random.6.html

I know, but when I run it the message is shown:
random: denominator is not valid.

denominator is an integer, 100..200 is not accepted (not a valid input)
