Basic Mission 7

oke now I solved it, I am not to happy about the hints which were not of much help. I cant believe that I had the answer to the puzzle the first 5 minutes, only one spacebar hit was missing.

shaheer, just try again what you probably already have tried. the command and something before it must be added. only one symbol. on the internet the commands are often preceded by a symbol (very much different ones.) I used this symbol, I just didnt include a space.

edit: I thought I used the symbol before, but apparently it also works without the space.

ok scratch that, figured it out. ok heres a hint for those and i hope its not to big. believe it or not really the page is right it says "in unrelated news they set up a calendar..dont look to much into the calendar. for good help, the game hacker evolution. it sounds dumb but you can learn the command(s) you need from that game. download the trial game and you will know. hope this wasnt to big of a hint.

No need to write it here

If you feel you have the correct command and it's not working you should begin to research why it may not be working.

For those still having trouble use this whole site as a resource. It is a little bit more like cheating but the graveyard forum posts are also a great place to look for help.

I finally got it!! I saw someone mention a symbol, and I just started using symbols then a command after every year I put in.

Think about that you want more code on one line, have you ever coded or scripted anything? It's always used there. (hope I didn't spoil, prolly not. Else, edit me )

If you've found the command you should know what people are talking about. Google can help you find out why it works.

I kind of find this mission misleading. Mayb because I'm new to this. But it seems like that only some Unix commands run in the given inbox, well actually only one command runs(The one needed to complete this mission). I spent some good time trying to figure out why 'cat' is not working until I got the password the easy way.
