Thanks
No such thing as a stupid question, it's the answers you have to worry about that make it seem stupid.
Dictionary.com defines stupid as:
1. Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.
2. Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.
3. Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless: a stupid mistake.
4. Dazed, stunned, or stupefied.
5. Pointless; worthless: a stupid job.
From bottom to top,
5 - Your question was not pointless or worthless.
4 - Hopefully it wasn't any of these.
3 - Hmmm, we're getting dangerously close to questions being stupid, but unless some previous life experience exposed this to you then nope.
2 - It certainly wasn't a poor decision or careless mistake that you asked a question.
1 - Being slow to learn or understand a given problem isn't really that bad. With all the different commands, software packages, utilities and what nots for any given OS, unless you encountered it through a life experience or learned it then that wouldn't make one a slow learner. At most it is getting close to obtuse. But even then unless you encountered the concept of your question it really doesn't count.
You can start with /man write/ then go from there, being sure to review the SEE ALSO section for other commands that might do what you want as well.
HTH :)
