Hi folks. I'm new to writing shell scripts in unix so maybe someone
could help me out here.
I'm lookin to run some automated test cases. What I need to do is run a
process and output the results. Actually there is more I need to do but
I need to walk before I can run.

So basically it'll look like this.

I have a process called OMC that I run on a file. There are options as
well, so a command from the unix prompt would look like this:

omc  -dtmlckf -o <output dir> <filename.lib>

Then the thing runs for a while and ouputs a huge amount of stuff.
After this I want to check the output directory for the correct files.

So i'll cd to the output directory, do an ls, or ll and visually check
for the needed files.

Is there a way i can do all of this in a script and output to a results
file??

thanks in advance.
