Today’s date is:	date
The current users logged on to the system are:	who
My current startup directory is:	pwd

//information.sh script

//information.sh

echo "1. Today's date"

echo "2. The current users logged on to the system"

echo "3. My current startup directory"

echo "4. Today’s identification information"

echo "5. The processes running on my system"

echo "@@@@@@@Output@@@@@@@@@@"

echo "1. Today’s date is: `date`"

echo "2. The current users logged on to the system are : `who`"

echo "3. My current startup directory is: `pwd`"

echo "4. Today’s identification information is: `id`"

echo "5. The processes running on my system is: `ps`"

========================

//after saving the file as information.sh , change the permission of the file to execute by executing below command
