CME 1003 Shell Script Assignment
Project Specification
A shell script is a script written for the shell, or command line interpreter, of an operating system. Typical operations performed by shell scripts include file manipulation, program execution, printing text etc.
Shell : In computing, a shell is a piece of software that provides an interface for users. In this project, you should prepare a Linux shell script which performs following operations:
Your script will ask user 4 options : Create, Move, Delete, Copy. The option will be applied to
Directories and/or Files which contain given name.
Examples:
Create : Reads a directory name and number from user and creates directories.
Example : directory name = student
number = 13
student1, student2, student3... student13 directories will be created by this option.
While creating each folder, script will ask user directory permissions. (permissions could
be given by number values like; 775 for rwxrwxr-x)
( NOTE: If directories exist, inform user!)
Move : Name and new location is taken from user.
Copy : Name and new location is taken from user.
Delete : Name is taken from user.
NOTE : Each operation will be logged in log.txt such as:
Example : Directory documentation_13.11.2007 is moved to upper directory
All of these options will be listed as a menu for user. At the end of each operation menu should
be shown unless user selects Exit option. The shell script should display appropriate messages
such as warning, information.
Example : If given filename does not exist, warn user.
NOTE : The wildcards should be accepted by your shell script as user input !

LQ is not a do-your-homework-for-you service

Wow...the single most blatant 'do-my-homework-for-me-because-I'm-lazy' post I've ever seen.

Since you're taking classes, try asking for some definitions of what "help" means. In this case, it means that YOU, have to DO your own homework. The 'help' part comes in when you actually DO something...you then post it here, and explain what you're doing, and where/why you're stuck, and then we assist (help) you get past your problem.

Otherwise, do your own homework. If you can't, tell your teacher you need help. If you want someone to do your work for you, don't bother taking the class, since you won't learn anything, and be as clueless when you come out, as you were when you went in.

I tend to be pretty lenient when it comes to homework posts so long as I see some effort and you're having difficulty moving forward. Here, I see no effort at all.
