lab 3.4_phony ls program

Hi @austrianadmin,

The following: ̃/work

Means a directory called 'work' in your home directory. So, let's say that your home directory is '/home/berni'. So when being there, you create the 'work' directory:

mkdir work

Then you enter the directory you just created:

cd work

Then create the fake 'ls' program:

touch ls

Put some content in the file:

echo "echo HELLO, this is the phony ls program." > ˜/work/ls
or
echo "echo HELLO, this is the phony ls program." > ls

, as you already are in the 'work' directory.

Then add the executable permissions to it:

chmod +x ls

Then you should have the fake 'ls' file here:

/home/berni/work/ls

And from here you should be able to keep following the lab.

Regards,
Luis.
