What shell script command will allow the user to log out via script?
I’ve made a Fedora Core 2 shell script in which the user is prompted for different things he or she would like to do.
I’d like to make another selection in which the user can choose the number 3 and then the user logs out of the OS! I’ve tried logout and exit but they don’t seem to work in the script.
Any ideas? thanks.
linux shell script: how do i check home directory size and email user if its too big?
I am trying to write a shell script that evaluates the size of each user’s home directory and if it is greater than 50 MB I want an email to be sent to their user account telling them that they need to reduce the size of their home directory.
I am mainly having trouble with using the output of du -s /home/* to compare each size to 50mb and then sending an email to that user, any help would be fantastic thank you.
How to count duplicate the lines of a file by using Linux Shell Programming?

I’m new to linux and to shell programming. I have an assignment to create a shell script that shows all the folders, sub folders and files of the current directory. LS does this. But I must count how many duplicate lines each file has, and show the line that is repeated the most times in each file.

Thanks in advance!

How can I make my script check if an entered subdirectory is valid?
