Feb 17, 2018 at 11:46 comment added Zanna Mod yeah, I guess one could argue for "too broad" but I wouldn't agree with that because it's a single task. Closing questions based on our idea about OP's behaviour or attitude just doesn't accord with the purpose of the site. If the question is useful and answerable, it shouldn't be closed or downvoted
Feb 17, 2018 at 11:29 comment added Thufir @Zanna ditto. I suppose you could downvote it as low-quality, nothing attempted. Or, mebbe, mebbe, too large of a question.
Feb 17, 2018 at 11:24 comment added Zanna Mod There's no valid reason to close that question or policy that supports closing it. Shell scripting is on topic here. I've tried to reopen it but reviewers voted to leave closed

Feb 17, 2018 at 11:10 comment added Thufir That's my take. Also, if the HW q is so simple as to BE a valid q, then...well, there's just no downside. (Distinction being a larger project.)
Feb 17, 2018 at 11:07 comment added vidarlo My view is that a question that stems from homework is fine. If you can't solve it, feel free to ask. But this is a cut'n'paste of the text, with no attempts at solving it!
Feb 17, 2018 at 11:03 comment added dessert Also relevant: Allow “homework” questions? and Ask Ubuntu's stance on Homework-type questions.
