Practicals

  • To Study basic & User status Unix/Linux Commands.

  • Study & use of commands for performing arithmetic operations with Unix/Linux.

  • Create a file called wlcc.txt with some lines and display how many lines, words and characters are present in that file.

  • Append ten more simple lines to the wlcc.txt file created above and split the appended file into 3 parts. What will be the names of these split files? Display the contents of each of these files. How many lines will be there on the last file?

  • Given two files each of which contains names of students. Create a program to display only those names that are found on both the files.

  • Create a program to find out the inode number of any desired file.

  • Study & use of the Command for changing file permissions.

  • Write a pipeline of commands, which displays on the monitor as well as saves the information about the number of users using the system at present on a file called usere.ux.

  • Execute shell commands through vi editor.

  • Installation, Configuration & Customizations of Unix/Linux.

  • Write a shell script that accepts any number of arguments and prints them in the reverse order.

  • Write a shell script to find the smallest of three numbers that are read from the keyboard.

  • Write a shell script that reports the logging in of a specified user within one minute after he/she logs in. The script automatically terminates if the specified user does not login during a specified period of time.

  • Installation of SAMBA, APACHE, TOMCAT.

  • Implementation of DNS, LDAP services,

  • Study & installation of Firewall & Proxy server
