cat can create new files, but to create files, I usually just use touch:As far as I'm aware, cat has never been for creating files, but for concatenating multiple files together into a single file.

My Slackware 12 installation has banner installed.

Which distribution of Linux do you have installed? Linux 9.5 doesn't mean anything.

Hi and welcome to LQ. You need the touch command - this will create an empty file.

You can create files with cat command.

$ cat > file
hello !
press CTRL+D to save file
$ cat file
hello !
$
