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.
Simple Linux Commands Activity
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.
Man Page Lookups
Use the Linux manual to find information about each of the commands below. For each command get the correct section and use the information from the manual page to find the version of the command installed. See the next two paragraphs for details.
Scroll to the start of the requested section (if the manual page does not have the section, you can skip this but leave a note in the document explaining) and take a screenshot that section. If the section of that manual page is more than 5 lines, you can show just the first 5 lines.
Find how to get the version number of the command. Take a screenshot of the manual page showing how to get the version number and also take a screenshot of you running the command and viewing the version. If a command does not have a version option, then you can leave a note in your document explaining this.
