Bash script

[Athin]

Hello Folks,
I am a newbie to the Linux.
I have been trying to write a bash script for the task below,

1, create a directory under your home folder which will create 10 temp files in the series
(files1, files2, files3 .. )
2, add Extension ".new" to all the files in a directory.
3, print the last updated file
4, change the last updated file permission to 600

Code I wrote
#!bin/bash

for i in {1..10}
do
mktemp --suffix=.new file$i.XXX
Done

Does anyone know what more codes to be added inorder include point 3 and 4 ?

Welcome to linux.org.

Moving this to Command Line, where scripting is handled.

Good luck.

For item 3. check out ls flags. Maybe ls -lrt

For item 4. check out chmod.

man chmod
man ls

man chmod
man ls

Thank you, but I am looking for guidance in how to add those commands into the script

This looks like homework, so I agree with @dos2unix response, that you need to learn about the commands he listed.

@Athin here is your script code :

#!bin/sh
for i in {1..10}
do
mktemp --suffix=.new file$i.XXX
done
getLatestFile=$(ls -Art | tail -n 1)
echo "Last Modified File :" $getLatestFile
chmod 600 $getLatestFile


- Code will create 10 files
- Add Extension ".new" to all the files in a directory.
- Prints the last updated file
- Change the last updated file permission to 600
