Exercises


  1. Create a crontab entry to record the system load averages to a log file every 15 minutes, but only on Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Hint: Take a look at the following online resource to learn more about the crontab format: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/crontab.html .

  2. Search the System Log file from the command line for other possible problems, such as warnings, errors, and failures.

  3. Modify syslog.conf to log FTP- related messages to another file, such as /var/log/ftp.log . Hint: Each entry in syslog.conf has three separate components : the messages to be considered , the destination, and any user -defined comments.

  4. Find all compressed tar archives within the /usr/local directory hierarchy and archive them to an ISO image so you can burn them to a CD-ROM and then delete them to free up disk space.

  5. Try to build and install the enscript application from its source code. This application converts ASCII files to PostScript and also supports a number of options to customize the PostScript output. For example, you can use enscript to print your scripts and other source code in an easy-to-read two-column format with line numbers . Hint: Read the INSTALL and README documents that come with the package for any special instructions.
