smells like homework... what have you tried so far and where are you stuck ?

hint:
touch and tar commands

first i typed in

path a.txt b.txt
so i think i created the files

what is the output you got from that command ?

heres the error i get:
Code:
[schneidz@hyper ~]$ path a.txt b.txt
bash: path: command not found...
Failed to search for file: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
you can check for the existence of files in the current directory by running ls.

got the same thing. do you know anyone who knows how to make that work?

it seems like path is not an appropriate command.
seems like you need to get more base understanding from your teacher or a ta.

hint:
touch and tar commands
These are both on the right track. I suggest you do (in the cli)
Code:
man tar
man touch
to gain a better understanding of how these commands work.
