HP-UX 11i System Administration Handbook and Toolkit, Second Edition

Using Commands

Using the cd, pwd, ls, mkdir, and cp Commands

Now that we have covered some of these commands in an "isolated" fashion, let's put some of the commands together.

Let's start by viewing the hierarchy of a directory under denise's home directory, called krsort.dir.old, as shown in Figure 21-7:

$ cd /home/denise/krsort.dir.old
$ pwd
/home/denise/krsort.dir.old
$
							ls -l
total 168
-rwxr-xr-x   1 denise   users    34592 Oct 27 18:20 krsort
-rwxr-xr-x   1 denise   users     3234 Oct 27 17:30 krsort.c
-rwxr-xr-x   1 denise   users    32756 Oct 27 17:30 krsort.dos
-rw-r--r--   1 denise   users     9922 Oct 27 17:30 krsort.q
-rwxr-xr-x  1 denise   users     3085 Oct 27 17:30 krsortorig.c
$

Figure 21-7. /home/denise/krsort.dir.old

We can then make a new directory called krsort.dir.new ...
