how can I see the report which has been created and where it will be created?

echo $(uname) >  /dir1/dir2/report
echo $(date) >> /dir1/dir2/report

To view the report

cat /dir1/dir2/report

Just as you view any of your files the same way your report too should be viewed

For the question where it will be created?
You have the answer, as you are the creator ! :slight_smile:

Sample posted by anbu is really an example

and not the actual command that should be executed in your terminal.
you need to modify the command as per your needs

A direct example that could be run is,

echo $(uname} > file

would create a file named ' file ' in the current directory where you are executing the command!

Just for example i gave /dir1/dir2. Keep the file where ever you want to and use that path instead of /dir1/dir2/
