#* '''Question:''' What do you notice?
#* '''Question:''' What makes this command with that argument useful if you are current currently located in your home directory?
# Issue the following Linux command: <span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">clear</span>
#* '''Question:''' What do you notice? Why is this command helpful?
#* '''Question:''' How does this ''pipeline command'' make it easier to obtain information regarding man command?
# If you wish to change your password on typical Linux systems, you can by issuing the command: <span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">passwd</span>
#* '''WARNING:''' {{Admon/caution|Do '''NOT''' run the ''<code>passwd'' </code> command on Matrix. !|Unique for to this college, your Linux password is changed automatically when you change your '''myseneca''' password.}}
#* '''Question:''' What option for the ''passwd'' command can be used to change user info (such as name)?
#* '''Hint:''' use the '''man''' command for '''passwd'''.
'''Perform the Following Steps:'''
# Make certain that your current directory is '''your home directory''' by entering the following Linux command:
#* <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">cd</span>
#Issue the following command to run a checking script:
#* <span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">~uli101/week1-check</span>
#* '''Note:''' The beginning character "'''~'''" is called '''tilde'''. You get this character by pressing '''SHIFT''' + '''`''' (which is the key to the left of the number 1 on your keyboard).
# An email will be sent to your Seneca email as '''confirmation''' in case your ULI101 professor is assigning marks to these tutorials.
#* Keep those confirmation email messages for the duration of this semester as proof that you have completed those checking scripts in case there is a discrepancy in tutorial grades.
