Basic Mission 7

[Kimmel]

Also, it might help a lot of you to know this little trick:

To get a unix cal command's output to a tad more reasonable size, consider adding a three-letter month prefix before the year. i.e: "JUL 1776;", instead of "1776".

Holy God I feel retarded. Just spent the last 30 mins staring directly at the filename wondering what to do with it. So much easier than I made it out to be.

Ok i feel like an idiot here. I know the symbol to enter two commands on the same line. I have typed multiple commands into the line and am still only able to get the date to appear and not the results of the second command. I have tried commands for listing files, for viewing the present working directory and multiple others. I feel i am over thinking this. I don't get how to make the second command appear on the screen with the calender dates.

nvm wow, i was adding an extra letter that was unneeded. Now I really feel dumb, but hey i figured it out lol.

It helps to have linux so you can test the commands. How would your run multiple commands at once?

Amending:

I do feel dumb.

3+ hours into this and haven't made any progress concerning the puzzles. I did check the hints and everything, been reading the unix commands (even printed them out), I felt that I could crack it as I have made it to puzzle 7, but after 3 hours, I just feel dumb.

I am an idiot. Just solved it and I have been making one little mistake over and over again. *facepalm* Phew.

Can you get any output to return from the script? After that you need to think about the directory you are in.
