In this investigation, you will learn how to create and run a '''Bash Shell script'''.
# Issue the following linux command to run your shell script in your current directory:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">./hello</span><br><br>You should notice an '''ERROR message''' indicating you don't have permissions to run the file. To fix this, you need to<br>'''add execute permissions''' prior to running the shell script.<br><br>
# Issue the following linux command to '''add'''<br>execute permissions for your shell script:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">chmod u+x hello</span><br><br>

# Issue the following Linux command to run a checking script:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">~osl640/week10-check-1</span><br><br>
# If you encounter errors, make corrections and '''re-run''' the checking script until you<br>receive a congratulations message, then you can proceed.<br><br>
