Question

I am using Linux and looking for the below scripts.

Message script: the first script should display the IP address, machine name and path to the script. (This addition will help me to find your script when I look for it on your server.)

Pause script: the second script should pause for 30 seconds. By creating this script separate from the first, we can run it at boot up when a pause might be helpful (so the output from the script does not scroll by), but not when we start a terminal, when a pause would be an unnecessary delay.

WARNING:: DO NOT put an "exit" statement in your scripts. You will lock up your server.

Answer 1

Script1:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hostname "

hostname

echo "\nIP Address "

hostname -i

echo "\nPath to script "

DIR=`dirname $0`

echo $DIR

Script2:

#!/bin/bash

sleep 30
