Student ID
You can put any integer number here to generate different exercises for practice. However you must submit the activity associated with your ID number to D2L in order to receive credit for the activity.
File Copying
- Take a screenshot of these instructions (including your student number) and the file/folder structure below. If you cannot get everything into the screenshot it is okay, just take your ID number and whatever fits on the screen.
- The folder /usr/local/src/dist2 contains 20 files in 4 folders that will be used as the source files.
- In your home folder on sit, create a folder called a09copy and copy files from /usr/local/src/dist2 into this folder using the structure shown in the box below.
- Like what was done in the previous exercise, the tree command and a couple of PuTTY windows can be helpful to know when you have completed everything.
- When you are finished make sure that your current working directory is the a09copy folder and use the tree command with the option to show the username, the file size, and the date of the last modification of the file (check the manual page for tree if you don't know how to do this). Submit a screenshot of the tree (you can break it into a couple of smaller pictures if you need).
Submission of Work
The daily exercises in this course are based on proving that you have successfully completed the tasks. This is done by determining which command(s) are necessary and collecting a screenshot of the completed work.
For each day, you will submit a PDF file to D2L by 11:30pm. The format MUST BE PDF! Submitting work in any other format will result in a zero. The dropbox closes promptly at 11:30pm and no late submissions by email will be accepted. No special arrangements will be made for any reason. A small number of daily activities will excused at the end of the semester to handle various problems that might arise.
Questions/parts must be clearly labelled. Work submitted without labels will not receive full marks.
