=INVESTIGATION 2: ISSUE COMMON POST INSTALL TASKS & CREATING SHELL SCRIPTS=
xFor the remainder of this lab, we will be using the '''centos1''' virtual machine that we installed in Investigation 1. First, we will focus on using the virtual machine and become familiar with some command VM operations like switching between the full-screen and window modes. We will also learn to turn-off the screen-saver settings so you do NOT have to periodically re-issue passwords to gain access to your account (although it is a good security feature to consider in the future beyond this lab). We will also show you how to temporarily log in as the root account in order to perform tasks that are only allows for a Linux administrator. Finally, we will continue using Shell Scripting to help automate routine tasks. For lab1, this will be creating shell scripts in order to generate information regarding the Linux system that we just installed. It would make sense that not only should a system administrator have access to hardware specifications for the computers that they support, but also information regarding the Linux operating system.
