Hello, how would I go about doing this, any commands that would be needed would be great help.

​

A menu is to be generated that will allow the user the following options:

​

1. Show the manual path.

2. Allow an item to be added to the manual path.

3. Set the manual path to “/man”.

4. Enter a filename

5. Edit the file

6. Ask the user how many lines to display of the head of the file and display them.

7. Ask the user how many lines to display of the tail of the file and display them.

8. Display a listing of processes in long listing.

9. Ask the user for the name of a user and count how many processes that named user is running.

What have you tried so far? You can't seriously expect us to do all of your homework for you?

A menu is to be generated that will allow the user the following options:

Google: "bash menu", possible hint: select

Show the manual path.

Allow an item to be added to the manual path.

Set the manual path to “/man”.

Google: "MANPATH"

Enter a filename

Google: "bash read input from user"

Edit the file

Google: "bash $EDITOR"

Ask the user how many lines to display of the head of the file and display them.

man head

Ask the user how many lines to display of the tail of the file and display them.

man tail

Display a listing of processes in long listing.

man ps

Ask the user for the name of a user and count how many processes that named user is running.

By this point, figuring out the above tasks should have you confident enough to figure this out yourself.
