OK, who knows UNIX?

Monday = college exam. There can supposedly be 6 different ways to get to your home directory. These are the ones I get:

% cd
% cd .. (if you're one under it)

But I'm blanking out on the rest. I know at least two of them involved this character (~). Please help, it's a guaranteed test question. That's what I get for sleeping. College is no place for a 31 year old man

if you have to take a test ... be good to learn them yourself...

also i just checked and they are all listed on google ..


here is a nice little start for you anyway http://www.allcommands.org/linux%20commands%20list.html

Personally, I always like to use

cd `awk -F':' "/^\`whoami\`:/ {print \\$6;}" < /etc/passwd`

cd ~

cd `awk -F':' "/^\`whoami\`:/ {print \\$6;}" < /etc/passwd`

Dude... You cost me a perfect score with that BS!



j/k... thanks for the help gang.

How about

eval `egrep "^\`whoami\`:" /etc/passwd | cut -f6 -d: | sed 's/^/cd /'`
