This project purpose is to help all students who have taken COS231 and the
students who will take this course in the future. It is a project containing a welcome
message for each particular student, a short description of the course, a counter that
counts months, days, hours, minutes, seconds until the semester ends, a short description
of the activities of that week and a menu where students can access the syllabus of the
course, the lecture notes, the course project and the exams. The project contains 23 files
and it is made in shell programming.

echo (1) - display a line of text
date - print or set the system date and time
%d day of month (e.g, 01)
%m month (01..12)
%H hour (00..23)
%M minute (00..59)
%S second (00..60)
%j day of year (001..366)
expr (1) - evaluate expressions
select (2) - synchronous I/O multiplexing
cd (1p) - change the working directory
case (n) - Evaluate one of several scripts, depending on a give
more (1p) - display files on a page-by-page basis
break (1p) - exit from for, while, or until loop
