1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Files stored in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/sbin vary in their respective sizes. In fact, there are 244 different sizes if we do not count the zero byte files. Create a command line that proves this and stores the answer, 244, in a files named sizes.txt.
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
See below?
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
- du -a /{,usr/}{,s}bin | sort -nu | grep -v ^0 | wc -l > ~/exam2/sizes.txt
248
