SPR720 Command Lab

Revision as of 21:44, 2 September 2008 by Chris Tyler (talk | contribs)

Login to a Linux system (your own or Seneca's).

  1. Examine the /bin, /usr/bin/, /sbin, and /usr/sbin directories. For each directory, examine the number and type of commands (use ls|wc -l to count the number of files, and ls to view the filenames).
  2. Go through the files in /usr/bin and for each file, note whether it's a command you have used. Select 25 of the commands you haven't used and research what they do (use manpages and online resources).
  3. Blog about your experience and what you've found.
