Search for a file and delete it
Create a directory called "repository",

Send the file to my email account
Exit

In this directory you must copy ALL the files of this exam, including the "ExamShell.sh" script

Explanation / Answer

Hi,

I fixed the code and it is working fine now. There is a problem in line 28 while getting echo5 where (") written immediately after echo5, which is going to error and the same echo6 and also if you want to comment anything the comment line should start with '#' not with // , this will be used in java to comment.

Please find the below code, which is tested.

#!/bin/bash
clear
date
while true
do

clear
date
echo
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo "1. Enter file name"

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo "2. Create a directory called "repository""

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo "3. Make an FTP from the server to your machine"

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo "4. Make a reboot of your computer"

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo "5. Send the file to my email account"

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo "6. Exit"

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

#// CODE OF PROGRAM TO OPERATING SYSTEMS EX#2

read -p "Insert your option" opc

case $opc in

1) read -p "enter file name:" filename

read -p "enter directory to search:" dr

echo -e " "
value=`find $dr -name $filename`
echo "File $value"

sleep 5

;;

2) mkdir ./repository

echo -e "respository directory created "
sleep 5
;;

3) read -p "enter ip address or hostname to connect:" ip

ftp $ip
sleep 5
;;

4) read -p "System Restarted" `sudo shutdown -r now`
sleep 5
;;

5)read -p "enter email id:" em; echo "This will be body of email "| mail -s "firstname lastname" $em
sleep 5
;;

6)exit;;

esac
done
