[Bug-textutils] report a bug

[jamal]

hi there,

iv been using the xterm through the Linux (mandrake distribution)

and i had some problems in using the cat command

well its not really considered as a bug but i cant find a way to use CAT

heres the prob:

i wana do a shell script:and the ook says:

mkdir ~/bin

then,

use the cat command to create a script in your ~/bin directory called genreport

i type:

cat ~/bin/genreport

get an error saying:    no file or directory existed

i try to use the touch command to make that (genreport) 1st which doesnt really seems to help.

 

the actual result has to be:

address@hidden bin]$cat ~/bin/genreport

cat /etc/passwd > passwd'date +%Y%m'

<CTRL+D>

but that doesnt happen over here

i think i explained alot over here and i hope that ill get good answers from u

and thank u.
