| Terminal question for a Mac User I'm not very familiar with Macs, and seem a little lost. So lost infact, i'm not even sure if i'm in the right spot. I got here by looking into terminal, and then searching out the word UNIX, so if i'm way off, i am sorry from the start. Using "Terminal" to play a BBS game and i'd love to set up a script. Where would i need to write the script, and how could i find a guide to doing it? Thank you. And again, if i'm way off, very sorry. Last edited by VorDog; December 28th, 2007 at 01:54 PM.  |

| Hi and welcome to macosx.com forums May I redirect you to these two pages which will give you basic information, then advanced on the Unix scripting way http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/bash-tute.html http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ These tutos are for bash Unix (yes, there is several Unix shells); just check yours by opening your Terminal application, going to its preferences and see which "/bin/..." shell is invoked Phil |

| I havn't quite figured out where to imput the commands. Honestly, after reading that, i'm still pretty lost. Where do these commands get entered, and is there a way that if it reads a line of text, it will enter a command? |
