INVESTIGATION 3: exit AND break STATEMENTS
# '''Login''' to your matrix account.<br><br>
# Issue a Linux command to <u>confirm</u> you are located in the '''advanced''' directory.<br><br>The '''exit''' statement is used to terminate a shell script.<br>This statement is very useful when combined with logic in a shell script to display<br>a '''message''' if the command was '''not run correctly''' and terminate the running of the shell script.<br><br>The ''exit'' command can contain an argument to provide the '''exit status'''<br>of your shell script (i.e. TRUE or FALSE value).<br><br>
<br>
# Use a text editor like vi or nano to create the text file called '''exit.bash''' (eg. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">vi exit.bash</span>)<br>
# Enter the following lines in your shell script:<br><span style="font-family:courier;font-weight:bold;">#!/bin/bash<br><br>if [ $# -ne 1 ]
