Project Assignment

1) Write a program that will take the information from two data files and produce an output file.

2) The script will be called project2.sh and the output files will be called project2.12.out and project2.24.out. See item e below.

3) Requirements of the script:

a) Use a Bourne shell for script processing.

b) Output redirection should be accomplished within the script, not on the command line.

c) Fully document the script. Explain what you're doing. Points will be deducted for any undocumented entries.

d) Must use the input data files exactly as shown below. You will create them.

e) Accept a Command Line Parameter of either 12 or 24 to determine how to display the start time information on the report. If no parameter is passed, default to 12 hour standard. NOTE: This will also affect the name of the output file that is created.

f) You MUST use a looping structure within the script to process one or both data files.

g) The contents of each of the input data files are shown below.

Input file 1: project2.1.input             Input file 2: project2.2.input
