Another tip for *NIX users

Occasionally commands can get too complex to enter on a command line. Perhaps the command is a very common one which is used frequently. Maybe there is a series of commands. The solution is a shell script. Enter all the commands into a text file. After exiting the file, perform a "chmod 700" on the file. This turns the text file into a shell script. Shell scripts can still be edited with a text editor.

It is best to set up the shell script so it can be invoked from any directory. Then the script can be moved to a location where it may be invoked from anywhere. This information is contained in the "PATH" environment variable.
