Lab - man page 15 points


Look at several man pages and then make sure that you know what
is in every man page, for instance every man page has a
header that has the utility name at the top in caps and tells you 
which section that it is in. Be sure to look at: 

http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Man-Page/q3.html

for what is expected of every man page.

man pages use a markup language that is something like html, so to 
make your own manpage, you will find an existing man page
on your system, copy and rename it and make changes to the markup in it.

Here is your assignment:

Create a man page that explains the operation of a shell script that you have
made that is for all users. The actual shell script will just do 
the very easy job of checking the quotas for the user, but the man page should 
tell them how to interpret the output, have a "see also" section and be like
any other man page. I will be grading your man page on how well it explains
how to interpret the output as well as being formatted correctly.


You will write a script and place it into
/usr/local/[yournetid]/quota.sh and then make a link to it into /usr/local/bin .
Remember, software that we build and install is installed somewhere into the
/usr/local directory structure.
Your script should be named quota.sh and your link should be named
quota[netid] so on my system it would be named "quotasmauney", and the man page will 
be in section 1 and will have the same name as the link. So on my system
a user would type "man quotasmauney" they would then see a man page telling them 
how to interpret the output, and they would type quotasmauney to see their
quotas.

Make sure that all users have /usr/local/bin in their paths when they login.
Remember, professionals usually use symbolic links. See the CSC128 web page
dealing with links. (Permissions and Links Page I think).


I need to remind you to do your own work on the man page and shell script, 
this is not a group project.

Be sure that you have a files section in your man page so that it tells
me where you placed your shell script.
