As systems grew in number and types of users, access control lists[2] were added to many file systems in addition to these most basic modes to increase flexibility.

The Bourne shell sh and the Bash shell bash. Make scripts executable with chmod u+x. The first line should be #! /usr/bin/sh or #! Everything starting with symbol # to the end of the line is a comment. . \ followed by a newline is a logical line continuation (except in comments). Symbol : denotes the null, do nothing, command. . : hi ; trouble actually runs command trouble since the ; ends the command. To send the output (on stdout) of command1 as input (on stdin) of command2 use a pipeline: command1 | command2 Similarly for multiple pipes. To debug a pipeline use tee: command1 | tee debugfile | command2 which records a copy of all data going through the pipe to debugfile. The exit status is the exit status of the last (rightmost) command in a pipe. True | true | false has exit status of failure. true | non-existent-program has exit status of failure. non-existent-program | goodprogram has exit status depending on when goodprogram gets the ``broken pipe'' signal, and what it does with it.
