-------------------------------- DAT2330 - Unix - Prof. Ian Allen -------------------------------- Here are questions you should be able to answer. You will likely find questions similar to these on tests and exams. Chapter 3 - Introduction to the Utilities. Omit material related to the "lpr" command and printing. Omit material related to the missing "pine" email program. On ACADAIX, read the output of "man mail" to learn about the IBM version of the traditional UCB Mail program. Floppix also uses a version of the UCB mail program. (This mail program was written in the early 1980's.) - Does the ACADAIX "tar" command have the built-in "gunzip" decompress feature mentioned in the text? Does the Floppix "tar" command? How did you find out? - Chapter Review Questions: On ACADAIX or Linux: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 Start keeping a summary sheet of Unix commands that you have learned. You will find this very helpful on tests! In Chapter 3 you learned a little about all of these command names: cp, diff, file, grep, head, mv, sort, tail, uniq, compress, gunzip, gzip, zcat, tar, apropos, whereis, which, finger, w, who, mesg talk, write, date, echo (This list came from summary pages 63-64 in the text). NOTE: ITS prevents anyone from using the "finger" or "talk" commands over the Internet while at the College. I've been trying for months to get them to change their policy without success.
