The above will work fine. It will overwite whatever was in my.sh before
or create my.sh if it didn't alread exist. If you use:
echo "more suff" >> my.sh
then "more stuff" will be appended to the end of my.sh
1. Remember my.sh have #!/bin/sh as it's first line.
ie:
#!/bin/sh
# This is my script for blah blah blah....
cd /usr/src/linux/arch...........
2. Remember that my.sh needs to be made executable to run
$ chmod u+x my.sh (make it executable)
$ ./my.sh (run it)
The other way to cut from the screen if you are using X Windows xterms
is to use the mouse to select the text and paste the info into an editor
using the middle mouse button. That pastes in the text. Save the file as
my.sh
Also Henry, use a descriptive subject for your email like "How to get
text from screen into a shell"
rather than "ask a silly question".
