SPR720 Command Lab
Login to a Linux system (your own or Seneca's).
- 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, andls
to view the filenames). - 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).
- Blog about your experience and what you've found.
