Hi All ,

Lab: Creating your first shell script

I have created a shell script and added the commands ( PFA image ) . Still the task is failing. Can someone guide me as why this is failing ?

Thanks,
Rakesh

Hello, Raki3101
Have you still facing the issue?

[Rosarch]

You need to read the instructions again, your script is named slightly differently to what it has asked you to create (you have added a bit that is not needed)

Thanks Rosarch. I got it what the mistake is. I need to save it as a command without .sh extension to the script.

This lab is not working for me. I tried it couple of times per instruction. Appreciate your help.

Hello, @Jhasujay
I think you are doing wrong way. You have to use vi editor to write command into the file create-and-launch-rocket.
First you can create file with the touch command.

touch create-and-launch-rocket

then use vi editor.

vi create-and-launch-rocket

OR
You can use direct vi editor.

vi create-and-launch-rocket

Hope it will help.

Thank you for your quick response. It worked. I am new to Linux/Shell scripting …

Hi All;
At bellow lab;

Create a shell script in the home directory called create-directory-structure.sh. The script should do the following tasks:

1. Create the following directories under /home/bob/countries - USA, UK, India
2. Create a file under each directory by the name capital.txt
3. Add the capital cities name in the file - Washington, D.C, London, New Delhi
4. Print uptime of the system

when ı wanna run script ı saw on cli

bob@caleston-lp10:/home$ create-directory-structure.sh
05:22:45 up 1:01, 0 users, load average: 3.07, 2.82, 3.17

I saw every step made by script

I made also

echo $PATH
then
export PATH=$PATH:/home

But at the end

Script did not run successfully. Please inspect your script and try again.

ıs there any one live same problem?
