Chapter 2: Remote Working

Logout

face Josiah Wang Tom Crossland

Now you can logout of your neighbour’s computer. We can do this with the logout command:

username@friend01:~$ logout
username@MACHINE:~$

You should see that your prompt is now showing the name of your machine again.

Remove your file

Make sure that neighbour has copied your file (from your machine’s /tmp directory) to their own home directory before proceeding! (This time by opening your mouth and asking.)

Now you can clean up after yourself by removing your file from the /tmp directory. This is good practice, as otherwise /tmp can become cluttered with files we no longer need.

username@friend01:~$ logout
username@MACHINE:~$ rm /tmp/USERNAME.txt
