Hi, the advice you have quoted above is entirely wrong, and
seems to be completely ignorant of the topic, so I suggest that you
disregard *all* of it.

There are many different communities with different knowledge and
interests, and replies you get can vary in quality depending on who
there happens to notice a request for assistance at any given moment.

You can find a good resource of quality information on shell command
use here:

This (bug-bash) mailing list is intended for actual bug reports, not
maybe-bugs by folks who don't know what they are doing.
If you have questions in future, the best place to ask them is
another mailing list run by this community:
  https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bash

And just in case you are not subscribed to this mailing list, are you
aware that the other aspects of your question have already been
answered? If not, you can read them here:
