We want to setup the following hierarchy of folders in our home directory (/home/tux/): EDU COP4610 slides videos exercises COP2512 slides videos exercises COP2513 slides videos exercises CIS4930 slides videos exercises CEN6084 slides videos exercises COP3515 slides videos exercises This could take a lot of shell commands. Try to obtain the same results with as small of an effort as possible. Your grade will be commensurate to how much your solution uses the shell syntax to avoid repetitive work. You will also make sure that your command works when invoked from any current working directory.

We want to use the whatis tool to figure out what the command named foobar does. We know it exists both in sections 3 & 9 of the manual so we’d like to specify for whatis to only look into section 9. The textbook mentions that man -f or whatis can not be that specific but the whatis tool is actually able to let you specify a section number. Which of the following syntax will allow you to do so?

The file /usr/share/dict/words holds a list of English words. We want to use egrep to display only those which match the following rules;  The word has tow or more quote symbol ‘ in it Each quote symbol is followed by one or more character The word should not start with a quote symbol ‘ In addition; we are working with Ubuntu Linux on the bash shell using GNU egrep tool Here are some examples of the words which will be matched; bo’s’n bo’s’n’s bo’s’ns Which of the following is the best solution?

We want to use the ls command to list all the files from the current working directory which names match the following pattern:  if the filename starts with a letter (lower or upper case) it is followed by 3 characters: a digit, an uppercase letter, and a lower case letter. Else it is followed by 5 characters: a digit, any character, an upper case letter, any character, and a lower case letter. Provide a single ls command that will list the above-described files in the current working directory.  

Which two sections of the man pages are searched by the apropos command?

You already know what a palindrome is by now 🙂  We want to use egrep on one of the Linux dictionaries files, located at /usr/share/dict/american-english, in order to identify palindromes that are more than one letter-long and UP TO 5 letter-long (inclusive). 

We have a plain-text file named persons-of-interest.txt. It contains several fields, each separated from the next by a single space. Within each field, no space character is used. The first field is a first name, the 2nd a last name, and the 3rd an optional variable-length integer called the Jedi Extensive Directory Identifier (J.E.D.I.).  Another file, named mc.txt contains only two fields. The first one is a J.E.D.I. number, and the second a decimal number representing the midi-chlorian count of the corresponding individual.  Provide command lines allowing us to display only the last name and midi-chlorian count of any individual who has a J.E.D.I. number.   Provide another command line allowing us to display only the first and last name of anyone who does not have a J.E.D.I. number. 

I want to count the words from one of the Linux dictionaries files, located at /usr/share/dict/american-english, that contain two successive vowels.

This is the third time that I accidentally hit both the CONTROL and D keys on my keyboard and close my terminal. I want to make sure this does not happens anymore during my bash session. How do I do this? How would I go about making this change permanent for all my login bash shells? What if I wanted to make this change permanent only for my non-login bash shells?

In the folder /var/log we have log files from various services running on our Ubuntu machine. Here is an example of the log files generated by one of these services: ubuntu-advantage.log ubuntu-advantage.log.1 ubuntu-advantage.log.2.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.3.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.4.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.5.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.6.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.7.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.8.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.9.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.10.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.11.gz ubuntu-advantage.log.12.gz The convention for these file names is as follows: The name of the log file (ubuntu-advantage in our example) is suffixed by .log. Regularly, the log file is emptied and its contents saved in a backup file named ubuntu-advantage.log.1, then ubuntu-advantage.log.2 and so on so forth. Every so often, some of these backup files will be compressed, thus earning an additional suffix .gz. Write a script that will accept the name of a service as first argument, e.g., “ubuntu-advantage”, and copy in a target folder of our choice that is specified as 2nd argument, all the log files for that service (compressed or not). You must match exactly the above-described syntax in order to avoid copying files that do not follow the syntax exactly such as ubuntu-advantage.log.10-My-backup.tgz.  (1.5pts) You will display an appropriate error message if: The number of arguments passed to the script is different than 2 (.5pt) The primary log file for the service name does not exist (e.g., ubuntu-advantage.log) (.5pt) The target specified as 2nd argument to the script is not a folder or does not exist already (.5pt)
