Executing a process

To execute a process under Unix:

1. Your terminal should display the shell prompt. It looks like this:

         yourname@yourcomputer<18>%

2. Type the name of the command. For example, there is a date command that tells you the current date and time. Here is how your screen might look after you use this command:

         yourname@yourcomputer<19>% date
         Sat Jan 28 14:20:38 MST 1995
         yourname@yourcomputer<20>%
