Q1. Which of the three methods will copy the directory named "photo dir" recursively from the user's home directory to /backups?
cp -R "~/photo dir" /backups #method1
cp -R ~"/photo dir" /backups #method2
cp -R ~/"photo dir" /backups #method3- Only method 1 will expand
"~/"to the user's home directory and then append the quoted directory name that includes a space. - Only method 2 will expand
"~/"to the user's home directory and then append the quoted directory name that includes a space. - Only method 3 will expand
"~/"to the user's home directory and then append the quoted directory name that includes a space. - None of the three methods will expand to the user's home directory. Only using
"$HOME/photo dir"will be successful.
$ ls -1
Beach photo1.jpg
Photo1.jpg
Photo2.jpg
Script.sh
$ cat script.sh
for i in $(ls *.jpg); do
mv $i ${i}.bak
done- ls: cannot access nonexistentfile: No such file or directory
- The for loop will split on word boundaries and Beach photo1.jpg has a space in it.
- The mv command will fail because the curly bracket is a special character in Bash and cannot be used in the names of files.
- Running script.sh will be successful as the ls command builds a list of files in the current directory and for loops through that list renaming files with a .bak extension.

reference. Subshells are one way for a programmer to capture (usually with the intent of processing) the output from a program or script. Commands to be run inside a subshell are enclosed inside single parentheses and preceeded by a dollar sign: DIRCONTENTS=$(ls -l) echo ${DIRCONTENTS}

Q5. The command below will search the root filesystem for files named "finance.db". In this context, what information is being sent to /dev/null?
find / -name "finance.db" 1>results.txt 2>/dev/null- the names of files that do not match finance.db
- information sent to the standard error-for example, errors that the find command displays as it runs
- the names of files that match finance.db
- information sent to the standard output-that is, the path to files the find command has located

sed -i '/^$/d' textfile -
sed '/^$/d' textfile -
cat textfile | sed '/^$/d -
sed -i 's/^$//' textfile
reference
sed : sed is a stream editor. A stream editor is used to perform basic text transformations on an input stream.
-i[SUFFIX] : This option specifies that files are to be edited in-place.
'/^$/d' : regex is between the //. ^ is the beginning of the line, $ is the end of the line. ^$ means the start and end have nothing in between.
d : Delete the pattern space; immediately start next cycle.
Warning, this example above will not work on a mac terminal due to different UNIX flavours. There is a way to make it work on a mac adding an extra flag -e, or even just -- (found on StackOverflow): sed -i -e '/^$/d' textfile.txt
awk -F: '/user1/{print $1 "-" $3 "-" $6}' /etc/passwd- It would show the username, UID, and home directory of user1 separated by colons.
- It would print the UID, GID, and home directory of user1 separated by hyphens.
- It would print the UID, comment, and home directory of user1 separated by hyphens.
- It would show the username, UID, and home directory of user1 separated by hyphens.
reference. Traditionally, the /etc/passwd file is used to keep track of every registered user that has access to a system. The /etc/passwd file is a colon-separated file that contains the following information: 1-Username, 2-Password, 3-User ID (UID), 4-Group ID (GID), 5-User ID Info (GECOS), 6-Home directory, 7-Command/shell
- It will cause Bash to exit if a function or subshell returns a nonzero status code.
- It will cause Bash to exit if a conditional returns a non-zero status code.
- It will cause Bash to exit if local, declare, or typeset assignments return a nonzero status code.
- It will cause Bash to exit if a command, list of commands, compound command, or potentially a pipeline returns a nonzero status code.
reference. The set -e option instructs bash to immediately exit if any command [1] has a non-zero exit status. You wouldn't want to set this for your command-line shell, but in a script it's massively helpful. In all widely used general-purpose programming languages, an unhandled runtime error - whether that's a thrown exception in Java, or a segmentation fault in C, or a syntax error in Python - immediately halts execution of the program; subsequent lines are not executed.

mysql < file.sql > file.txt- a copy of the contents of file.sql
- an error indicating that this is invalid syntax
- the error output of the MySQL command
- the non-error output of the MySQL command
Note: check the question below for a variant.
mysql < file.sql > out.txt- The output on the screen will be identical to out.txt
- There will be no output on the screen as it's being redirected to out.txt.
- The output on the screen will be identical to out.txt plus line numbers.
- The out.txt file will hold STDERR and STDOUT will go to the screen.
Note: check the question above for a variant.
- When the command creates files, they will be owned by the group owner of the command.
- The SUID bit allows anyone to execute the command no matter what other permissions are set.
- When the command is executed, its running privileges elevate to the user owner of the command.
- When the command is executed, its running privileges elevate to the group owner of the command.
reference. The Linux and Unix access rights flags setuid and setgid (short for set user identity and set group identity)[1] allow users to run an executable with the file system permissions of the executable's owner or group respectively and to change behaviour in directories.
Q13. In order to extract text from the first column of file called textfile, which command would you use?
-
cat {$1,textfile} -
cat textfile | awk [print $1] -
cat textfile | awk '{print $1}' -
awk textfile {print $1}
(reverse-i-search)`':- Esc + R

var=$( expr 10 / 8 ) -
(( var= 10 /8 )) -
var=$(( 10 / 8 )) -
var=$(echo 'scale=2; 10 / 8' | bc)
reference. The bc command is used for command line calculator. It is similar to basic calculator by using which we can do basic mathematical calculations. The division with 2 digit precision will be passed to bc, evaluated, and assigned to the variable.
txt=Penguins
[[ $txt =~ [a-z]{8} ]]; echo $?- 0, representing 'true', because the variable "txt" contains eight letters
- 0, representing 'true', because everybody loves penguins!
- 1, representing 'false', because the variable "txt" is longer than eight characters
- 1, representing 'false', because the variable "txt" does not contain eight lowercase letters between a and z

What is happening here quoting the POSIX shell specification: ${parameter#[word]}. Remove Smallest Prefix Pattern. The word shall be expanded to produce a pattern. The parameter expansion shall then result in parameter, with the smallest portion of the prefix matched by the pattern deleted.
For instance ${VAR#?} expands to the value of $VAR with the first character deleted. And ${VAR#\*/html}expands to include all characters to and including the/htmltext which will be deleted from the variable producing the output of/website.com/html/
Q19. If prompted for text at the standard input, you can tell the command you're done entering text with what key combination?
- Ctrl + A (Windows) or Command + A (Mac)
- Ctrl + E (Windows) or Command + E (Mac)
- Ctrl + D (Windows) or Command + D (Mac)
- Ctrl + Z (Windows) or Command + Z (Mac)
Q20. In order for a Bash script to be executed like an OS command, it should start with a shebang line. What does this look like?

Q22. Suppose your current working directory is your home directory. How could you run the script demo.sh that is located in your home directory? Find three correct answers.
A. /home/demo.sh
B. ./demo.sh
C. ~/demo.sh
D. bash /home/demo.sh
E. bash demo.sh- B, C, E
- A, B, C
- C, D, E
- B, D, E

find . -type html -
find . -name *.html -
find *.html -
find . -name \*.html -print
The second seems well, but will expand the \* if there is any .html file on your working directory.
cat < in.txt > out.txt- The output from the command line. By default STDIN comes from the keyboard.
- Nothing because you can't redirect from file (in.txt) to another file (out.txt). You can only redirect from a command to a file.
- It would be the contents of in.txt.
- Nothing. The redirect will create a new empty file but there will not be any output from the cat command to redirect.

Q38. Given the listed permissions on data.txt is it possible that user2 could have read, write, and execute permissions on data.txt?
$ ls -l
total 0
-rwx------+ 1 user1 user1 0 Oct 27 10:54 data.txt- No, it's clear that user2 does not have read, write, and execute permissions.
- Yes, the
+at the end of the 10-digit permission string signifies there's an access control list. This could possibly give user2 permissions not visible byls -l. - It's possible that SELinux provides read, write, and execute permissions for user2 which are not visible with
ls -l. - Yes, the
+at the end of the 10-digit permission string signifies there's an extended attribute set. This could give user2 permissions to read, write, and execute data.txt.

done- It sorts the associative array named ARRAY and stores the results in an indexed array named KEYS. It then uses this sorted array to loop through the associative array ARRAY.
- Using a C-style for loop, it loops through the associative array named ARRAY using the associative array's keys and outputs both the key and values for each item.
- It creates an indexed array of the associative array named ARRAY. It then uses a C-style for loop and the indexed array to loop through all items in the associative array, outputting the key and value of each array item using the index number.
- It creates an associative array named ARRAY, which it loops through using a C-style for loop and the index numbers of each item in the associative array's keys, outputting the value of each item.

Q42. For the script to print "Is numeric" on screen, what would the user have to enter when prompted?
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Enter text " var
if [[ "$var" =~ "^[0-9]+$" ]];then
echo "Is numeric"
else
echo "Is not numeric"
fi- Any sequence of characters that includes an integer
- The user would have to enter the character sequence of
^[0-9]]+$Only this will prove to be true and "Is numeric" would be printed on the screen due to incorrect syntax. By encapsulating the regular expression in double quotes every match will fail except the text string^[0-9]+$ - One or more characters that only includes integers
- Due to a syntax error it is impossible to get the script to print "Is numeric"
The regex must not be quoted to work properly.

echo "$var is greater than 5"
fi- There will be no unexpected results. This script works as is and the output will be "8 is greater than 5".
- The comparison will not be able to handle floating-point numbers, as Bash only handles integers. So this example will output an error message if the value of $var is changed to "8.8".
- There will be a file in the current directory named 5.
- The variable $var is not quoted, which will lead to word splitting. This script will fail with a "unary operator expected" message if you change the value of

Q93.In Bash, create a one-liner command that recursively finds all files with the ".txt" extension in a directory and its subdirectories, and counts the total number of lines in those files. The output should only display the total line count.
Which of the following one-liner Bash commands accomplishes this task?
-
find . -name "*.txt" -exec wc -l {} \; | awk '{total += $1} END {print total}' -
grep -r ".*\.txt$" | wc -l -
find . -type f -name "*.txt" | xargs wc -l | tail -n 1 -
find . -name "*.txt" -exec cat {} \; | wc -l
