How to make your own linux command

Hey guys....  Wanna create your own Linux command ???

Well, that's so simple:-)

Step 1 : First write a program

     

                                          ex:           #include<stdio.h>

                                                          int main()

                                                          {

                                                                    printf(" This is your new command" );

                                                                    return 0;

                                                           }

         
 Once the program is ready save it and compile it to get a.out file
 The output of a program will be your command output so, write program according to what                           you want your command should output..

Step 2  : Place your executable file (a.out)  in "/usr/bin" path where all the binary files will be present as follows, before that you can change the name of the a.out to any name you like ...

               I have changed to "mycommand" using following command

                                                             

                                                                  gcc -o  mycommand  myprogram.c

                                                

                                                command: sudo cp mycommand  /usr/bin

Step 3 : Now execute "mycommand" as you use to do with built in Linux commands.

Congrats !!! You now have your own command
