# Although we will not be learning about '''pipeline commands ''' (using the | character) until later,<br>try issuing the following pipeline command: <span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">man -k copy | grep 8</span><br><br>How does this ''pipeline command '' make it easier to obtain information regarding man command?<br><br>
# If you wish to change your password, you can change it by issuing the command: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">passwd</span><br>What option for the passwd command can be used to change user info (such as name)?<br>'''Hint:''' use the '''man''' command for '''passwd'''.<br><br>'''NOTE:''' You are NOT required to change your Matrix password for this tutorial. The Matrix server is "synched"<br>with the my.senecacollege.ca server, so it is better to have your Matrix password changed at the same time<br>that you change your '''myseneca''' password.<br><br>
