Few general unix qns..URGENT!!
hey guys,
I have a few general qns on unix, so I'd appreciate quick responses.
1. How do u read a file line by line and display its contents using KSH?
2. How to kill a process using only the name?
3. How to create an empty file with 1MB memory size?
4. How to append some content to an existing file using only sed command?

have you tried using google? This sounds like some kind of homework. Please read the rules about duplicate posting too.

Some commands to lookup:

cat
more
less
kill
sed

On linux you can use killall to kill a process by name. Unix (ksh) command killall kills all active processes, used by shutdown command.

Smells like homework.
Looks like homework.
Feels like homework.
Reads like homework.

It must be homework.

And as a personal remark: Please skip the "URGENT", kid. Most of us are hard working professionals. We have schedules to meet, work to do, families to sustain, kids to raise and only then find time to answer questions. If you want to have your questions answered immediately call 1-800-HIRE-A-UNIX-PROFESSIONAL-FOR-GOOD-MONEY.
