You could figure out almost any of these questions in moments by reading the manual pages for the commands it asks you about. It'd serve you far better to learn how to use the man system than to get canned answers.

Interesting set of questions.
You got an answer to this post because you have clearly tried. I respect that.

Personally I think you should review your answers to:

3) (Try typing the command)
4) (Clue. The unix kernel is not hardware, firmware or application software).
8) (Try "man wc")
9) (An absolute pathname will always start with a "/" character).
11) (See "man ls" and read about the "-l" parameter). (Clue: Try "ls -ld" for a named directory and look at the first character).
13) The English in this question is not good. IMHO the answer is d). It is definitely not b). Try typing "pwd" then "cd" then "pwd". Nothing changed did it?
16) The English in this question is not good. Please do read "man ln".
18) This is where I need the resources of this excellent board.
Afaik. NONE WORK. Anybody got a solution which works?
19) Never heard of a "leaf node" in Computing (maybe in Biology?). Big clue to the right answer.
29) (Hint. You cannot modify a directory entry without execute and write permissions).
30) May be a trick question. I'd use the unix "file" command rather than any of the options suggested.



Ps. It's been fun. With 19/30 I'd employ you based on your answers to this quiz and the way you present problems. I admire your nerve. Hope you get the job.

Pps. Anybody and everybody please look at Question 18. Maybe I'm being thick?

17) Should be b) UNIX can support terminals that are only upercase - Try logging in with username all in caps.
18) must be a typo none of the options will put the "c" in front, both a) and d) give 10/$$/92
