Introduction
The preceding guided lab showed that terminal output can be saved in a file instead of disappearing into the scrollback. It also introduced figlet, which renders ordinary text as large terminal characters.
In this first challenge, you will combine only those two familiar ideas. Success is one small, reusable banner file.
Save the ASCII-Art Banner
Current Situation
The empty workspace /home/labex/project/terminal-greeting is ready, and figlet is installed.
Scope
- Work in
/home/labex/project/terminal-greeting. - Create the file
welcome-banner.txt. - Use the default
figletfont. - Do not add any other text to the file.
Your Goal
Save the default figlet rendering of Welcome in welcome-banner.txt.
Acceptance Criteria
welcome-banner.txtexists and is not empty.- Its content is exactly the default
figletrendering ofWelcome.
Hints
Which two ideas from the guided lab apply?
figlet creates the banner, and the output-redirection operator from the date and ASCII-art steps saves command output in a file.
Summary
You used two commands and one redirection operator from the guided lab to save a reusable ASCII-art banner.
