Shell Programming and Scripting

1. Start a command-line session with matrix.

2. Working from your home directory create a directory named lab2b (use all lowercase letters)

3. Copy the Acceptable-Use-Policy file that resides in your home directory to your lab2b directory

4. Make lab2b your present working directory

5. Without changing working directories, list the contents of your home directory. Be sure that hidden files are also listed

6. Change directories to your home directory using the fewest possible keystrokes.

7. While in your home directory, create another directory called Labs (note that the "L" in "Labs" is uppercase).

8. Move your lab2b directory (including its contents) into Labs.

9. Use the tree command to verify the layout of your Labs directory. Your Lab directory structure should now look like this:

~
|
--------
|
Labs
|
-------
|
lab2b
|
-----
|
Acceptable-Use-Policy

Draw the above directory tree on a separate sheet of paper and keep updating it as you complete the following commands

Note: If the tree command output looks different, check your work for previous steps and redo them as needed.

10. Make lab2b your working directory

11. Working from lab2b, use the cat command to view the contents of the file called Acceptable-Use-Policy

12. Repeat the previous question using the more command. What did you notice that was different? Write down your observations.

13. Copy the /etc/group file to your present working directory (lab2b)

Note: under certain circumstances you may not be able to access the above file. In such case, use /home/uli101/group instead, noting the difference on your paper.
