[Barkeep_asu]

"Write a script to see if Lets_Count is a file. The display should state that it is or is not a file."

I need help with this one, I am so lost its not funny X_X

Explain better and start with a few ideas, we'll help you throughout, if it's not homework (see forum rules)

Looks like homework to me and that's against the rules

[Barkeep_asu]

#!/bin/sh
# meow

stat -c%F /home/barkeep/Lets_Count
if [ "$stat -c%F /home/barkeep/Lets_Count" = "regular file" ]; then echo "is a file"
else echo "is not a file"
fi




the outcome of the script.


root@barkeep-desktop:/home/barkeep# . script6
regular file
is not a file

and no ... this isn't home work.

test -f

is smarter

And why do you source your script ?

. script6

Make it executable and run it

chmod +x script6
script6
