I am trying to get this list of command line issues that I am having. I am almost completely done here. Here are the last questions that I need answered...

1. Find the number of lines, words and bytes in the file /home/jo/newpoem

2. Redirect the output of the ps -aux command to a file called curprocs.

3. Find all the files that start with the word "messages" in /var. ( i think you will need to use a wild card here)

These are the last of them......God willing I will never have to mess with these again!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Homework isn't meant to be easy - keywords "wc, stdout, grep"
