1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Using the example.log file in your home directory, write a bash script that will collect the following information:
1. Date range of the log. This would be the first (oldest) and last (newest) date in the file.
2. Total number of hits during the date range. 1 hit = 1 line
3. Total number of unique visitors. A unique visitor = a unique IP address.
4. Top 10 users, and the number of times they visited.
5. Five most popular resource accessed, and the number of times they were accessed.
6. Ten most visited URLs, and the number of time accessed.
7. Number of visitors using Internet Explorer, broken down by version.
8. Number of people using Firefox, broken down by version.
9. Number of people using any other browser.
THE FORMAT OF THE LOG:
Each line in the log file is equal to one visit, or hit. The log is a tab-delimited file with 6 columns of data. It will be necessary to extract data from a specific column and break it down further. The columns in the log file are in the order below, and contain the following data:
1. IP address of the visitor.
2. Username of the visitor
3. Date and time the user visited.
4. The access method, resource, and protocol used.
5. URL accessed by the user.
6. The ‘User Agent’ string containing browser and other system information from the user.
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
• bash
• head
• tail
• cut
• tr
• sed
• wc
• sort
• uniq
• grep
• printf
cut & sort) multiple times in one command chain
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
4. Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Pace university, New York, New York. United States. Professor Thomas Murphy, RH134

- With the sample given, the assumption for the first question on first and last line is wrong. On top, the delimiter for cut should be reconsidered.
- Your attempt to find the top hits (whatever this means) looks for the string constant "date"; not sure this is what you want.
- Your attempt to answer question 3 can be simplified and doesn't meet the question's kernel.
cut -f
-f list
The list specifies fields, separated in the input by the field
delimiter character (see the -d option). Output fields are sepa-
rated by a single occurrence of the field delimiter character.
So if we dont use -d just use -f then each word is separated by space
Code:
$ tail -n1 exp.log | cut -f 3
Gets the date but with a [] sign .. can we use 'tr' command now ??
-d delim
Use delim as the field delimiter character instead of the tab character.
-f list
The list specifies fields, separated in the input by the field delimiter character
(see the -d option). Output fields are separated by a single occurrence of the
field delimiter character.
I have a project tree like that.

We have a system running ssh. When a user logs in, they do not get the project they are assigned to (they run under "system"). I verify the project using the command "ps -e -o user,pid,ppid,args,project". If you do a "su - username", the user does get the project they are assigned to (and all... (2 Replies)
