Part 2 - Write Shell Scripts

Read about Shell Scripting and review the examples. Also lean about Vi Editor / Vi Commands.

 

A- In a file write a series of Linux commands that perform the following tasks (assume you are in your home directory):

1. Create a directory called myprofile
2. Create a subdirectory in myprofile called myemails
3. Create a file called mytest.txt in myprofile directory.  
4. Copy mytest.txt  into yourtest.txt   
5. Copy mytest.txt  into ourtest.txt and place the new file in myemails directory
6. Show the directory tree for myprofile directory
7. Using for loop shell script command write 1-1000 in ourtest.txt file (you should have 1000 lines: 1,2,3,..) - learn about "for loop" in Shell Scripting.
8. Display the last 10 values in ourtest.txt file

Submission for Part 2.A: Submit the Linux commands for each section.

B- In this part you are expected to write a Linux Shell Script to perform the following tasks:

1. Display your IP address
2. Display your MAC address
3. Display your HOSTNAME
4. Save the above information in a file called mynetwork.txt. Note that the created file must only have three lines in it.

Please note that each of the above information must be displayed on a separate line. Only the requested information should show up (nothiing else on the line should be displayed). HINT: Do NOT copy somehting from the web. You can use cut and grep commands. See example below. The script must be executable on the machines in the lab. How do you execute the shell script?

 

Submission for Part 2.B: Submit your working script and the output of your scrips for Part 2. You must show that your script works. You can use Salazar 2006. You must demonstrate before the end of the class; please come early.
