I'm rather new to this server-config stuff.
I'm following the ubuntu tutorial on OpenSSL and I came across the command echo '01' > serial && touch index.txt
and i'm not quite sure what it's doing. I read something about 'touch' doing something with a timestamp.
What does the touch filename.txt
command do exactly?
It seems to send me into some weird prompt that I do not know how to get out of.
