If the sub directory is not there, it will just rename the file to that name Creates the file named JDT.CTL in the current directory Creates file JDT in the specified directory no matter where you are currently located Creates a sub directory in the directory that you are in called Jim Deletes the directory and all files and sub directories in it called Jim (assuming that sub directory exists) Does a list of all files in the current directory and redirects (writes) the result into file myfiles (in this case a list of files in the current directory. Concatenate the data in all files in the current directory that start with abc.2001 and put that data into a single file named abc.fil Follow the commands and it will prompt you to change your password and confirm it.
