Hi..

I need to do my assignment related to linux command by testing them and do a screenshot.

The question that i got stuck is

1. Create a file, namely “operating_system” with zero size


I tried using these commands and its failed.I tried ubuntu and opensuse.Plz help me.

I got these information from a website on which command to USE for my problem but i still can't get the command to work.

Plz help me..Thanks in advance.

Try the information HERE

Did you try any Internet searches?i think you already no this
when you are using "operating system" shell will TAKE it as different words
so type

1. vi "operating \system "


"operating \system"====>>>seems to be one word to the shell
(*if it is a command you must include the path i.e., your current command path must be included in the $PATH *)


trywhat do u mean by
$operating sytem ls -l new.fileHe's trying to list the file with the ls -l command to see if the file was created.

Are you trying to tell him to use the vi editor to create the file?I AM trying to ask is why he use "operating system "before ls -lYes -- I see it now! I missed it before.

I never thought about using vi -- I guess it would work that way, too!

Yes -- I see it now! I missed it before.

So, at the command prompt, you tried


$ touch operating_system


and it didn't create the file?
