How do I add X days to date and get new date?
I have Linux ( RH 5.3) machine
How to open terminal, split to 9 terminals and switch between them using one script?

Pipe to multiple files in the shell
I have an application which will produce a large amount of data which I do not wish to store onto the disk. The application mostly outputs data which I do not wish to use, but a set of useful information that must be split into separate files. For example, given the following output:
“not a valid identifier” when I do “export $PATH”
When I run export $PATH in bash, I get the error not a valid identifier. Why?
