# Confirm that you created this file and confirm that the contents of this file are correct.<br><br>Let's run a <b>shell script</b> to check that you created the '''myvm.txt''' file (with correct file contents) in your home directory.<br><br>
#Enter the following command: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">bash /home/murray.saul/scripts/week7-check-1</span><br><br>If you encounter errors, make corrections and then re-run the checking script until you receive<br>a congratulations message, and proceed to the next step.<br><br>Although you will be learning to create and run Bash shell scripts to '''automate''' tasks Matrix course (near the end of this course), those scripts will only run in a '''command-line''' environment.<br><br>But since you are running the <u>graphical</u> '''Knoppix''' Linux distribution on your computer, you can run scripts graphically (including the use of dialog boxes input, output, etc.).# After Issue the following command to download a shell script called '''week7-demo-1''' from the Internet:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">https://matrix.senecacollege.ca/~murray.saul/week7-demo-1</span><br><br># Issue the ls command to confirm that the file week7-demo-1 has been downloaded to your checking current directory.<br><br># Issue the following to run this shell script :<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">bash week7-demo-1</span><br><br>What did you notice?<br><br># Issue the following Linux command:<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -l week7-demo-1</span><br><br>Notice there are NO '''execute''' permissions.
