Question

Suppose you’re using your lab UNIX system to write a project summary report, “lab1.2.r” that must not exceed a specified number of words.

The approximate series of events that might take place is shown in the table below. For each step listed in the “Steps” column, you’re to provide the appropriate command in the “Commands” column. You must use only those commands covered so far.

To answer the questions, follow the steps below:

Step 1Log into the lab computer with your asurite username and password, if you're logged off

Step 2Change your working directory to IFT383s17, if you’re not there

Step 3Start capturing your session under filename lab1.script, appending to the previous recording

Step 4Create the file lab1.2 and type in your answers to the questions below. When this file is displayed with the cat command, the lines should be numbered, each number corresponding to the question number. Don’t just type the commands, make a complete sentence that includes the command surrounded by grave-accents. For example, if the first step says: “you write today’s date and time”. Your answer could be something like: “The current date and time is `date`” (12 pts)

Steps

Commands

You write the date in the format “January 20 2015”

You displayed your current working directory

You go to your IFT383s17 directory

You listed the directory contents to see the size of the file

You display the content of “lab1.2.r” file

You rename it as the first draft “lab1.2.r1”

You create a subdirectory called “lab1” to store the first draft

You move “lab1.2.r1” into the “lab1” subdirectory

You make a copy of “lab1.2.r1” and call it “lab1.2.r2”

After editing “lab1.2.r2”, you rename it as “lab1.2.r.final”

You remove the file “lab1.2.v1”

Finally, you count the words in “lab1.2.r.final”

Explanation / Answer

1) The current date is `date +"%B"$' '"%d"$' '"%Y"`
2) The current working directory is `ls`
3) Going to `cd IFT383s17`
4) The directory contents are `ls -l`
