Prove the shell is alive

Quest: prove-shell-alive

Mission

Connect to your account and run whoami, date, and uptime.

Why This Matters

Before you can do anything useful, you need proof that you are in your own account and that the shell is listening.

The machine can answer basic questions:

Commands You Will Use

Steps

  1. SSH into your personal account with the command printed during registration.
  2. Run whoami.
  3. Run date.
  4. Run uptime.
  5. Progress records automatically after all three commands succeed.

Hints

  1. Start with whoami and check that it prints your handle.
  2. Run each command separately. Do not paste them into one long line yet.
  3. The exact commands are whoami, date, and uptime.

If Check Fails

Run all three commands again. The guide needs evidence for each one.
