In a single command how do you run the previous command in the command prompt.
What is shell environment?
how to separate the even and odd number generated from one file to two separate file i.e. even numbers in file1.txt and odd numbers in file2.txt
Print a given number, in reverse order using a shell script such that the input is provided using command line argument only.
Devise a script that takes file name as arguement(which must present in the current directory)and locates from your home directory tree all thpath names of its links.Then mail the list to self.
