Exercise 10: Jerralds Union Institute


Exercise 10: Jerralds Union Institute

You are onsite at Jerralds working on a problem with a printer when a salesperson calls in. He has created an important presentation that he must give to a client and then gone to the client's site in London without it. The flustered salesperson cannot remember the exact name of the file or whether he has even combined everything he needed into one file yet.

The only thing he knows for certain is that the needed file(s) are in his home directory and he needs everything there emailed to him as quickly as possible.

You step in and volunteer to handle the situation. The best approach for being able to send the files in the dlucas home directory is to archive into a single file named LONDON. Because it will be sent as email, you also need to compress it.

Prepare this archive for the salesman so that it can be sent to him.

Exercise 11: Kent's School

A private school in the area has called you in for a consultation. They have been teaching students how to write shell scripts at a very elementary level. One of the students wrote a script named omniart , which has called a number of sleep processes. They do not want to shut the machine down, and will do so only as a last resort, as it is running some other applications that still need to execute. Those other applications, however, are being slowed tremendously by the sleep processes.

They would like for you to terminate the sleep processes as quickly as possible.
