OK however it also isn't "Atlanta Linux Homework Helpline". 

My initial response suggested it was homework, because the instructions 
were explicit enough to have been written by someone who knows bash 
programming.  It follows that they were most likely not written by the 
person asking for help or they'd have known how to program it. 

That was a quick first take however.  Add to that the desire to do it in 
bash and it sounds like instructions from another.

Just an observation.  If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Jim.
