2.2 Assignments, Quizzes, and Lab work this weekIndex

Reminder: There are now two quizzes that you need to complete on Blackboard as part of your term Quiz mark. A third quiz will be posted before the Final Exam. The Quizzes are not optional; see the Course Outline.

Check the due date for each assignment and put a reminder in your agenda, calendar, and digital assistant. Just like in the Real World, not all due dates are on the same days or at the same times.

Review last week. Did you do everything assigned last week?
Read The VI (VIM) Text Editor and optionally do the bonus Assignment #04 HTML.
Bonus (optional) Assignment #09 HTML about Midterm #2
- There is a checking program available to check your file format for this bonus assignment, but only people who Read All These Words will know about it. Wrong format means no marks. Do not save or submit the output of this checking program!
Assignment #10 HTML – tar, processes, syslog, crontab, at, mail, shell script
Assignment #11 HTML – shell scripts
- The checking program has a feature to check just one of your scripts.
Practice test #3 is posted under Practice Tests and Answers. The Final Exam is comprehensive of the whole course; you need to do all three practice tests for the Final Exam.
Really do Read All The Words. You don’t get a second chance to get it right.

2.2.1 WorksheetsIndex

Worksheets are preparation for your assignments. You can’t do the assignments without having done the worksheets first, and you can’t do the worksheets without having first read the Course Notes: 1. Read. 2. Worksheet. 3. Assignment.

Form a small study group to do the worksheets. Each person tries the example given, and you make sure you all get the same answers. Worksheets are not for hand-in; they are not worth marks; the assignments test your knowledge of the lectures and worksheets.

The worksheets are available in four formats: Open Office (ODT), PDF, HTML, and Text. Only the Open Office format allows you “fill in the blanks” in the worksheet. The PDF format looks good but doesn’t allow you to type into the blanks in the worksheet. The HTML format is crude but useful for quick for viewing online.

Do NOT open the Worksheet ODT files using any Microsoft products; they will mangle the format and mis-number the questions. Use the free Libre Office or Open Office programs to open these ODT documents. On campus, you can download Libre Office here.

Worksheet #06 HTML – Optional Bonus VIM Text Editor Practice
- This is an optional worksheet for a BONUS assignment using vim
- Optional command-line VIM tutorial: the vimtutor program on the CLS.
- Bonus (optional) Assignment #04 HTML – the VIM text editor
- Read The VI (VIM) Text Editor

Worksheets prepare you for the upcoming assignments.

Don’t forget to finish your five Blackboard quizzes for each of Midterm 1 and Midterm 2. There will be a third quiz to prepare for the Final Exam.

4.1 Commands UsedIndex

Keep a notebook with a List of Commands in it.
- You need to write down yourself what each command does.
- I will check for this list in your lab periods.
- Check the updated list of commands each week.
- Bring your notes to class! Stop wasting time looking up commands.
Are you making notes from the worksheets on how each command works?
- What do the options used in the worksheets mean, for each command?
- Don’t copy and use options that you don’t understand!

4.2 Finding world-writable files in your accountIndex

The assignment Checking Programs may issue this message:

Number of world-writable pathnames in abcd0001 account: 1
   ERROR: Sysadmin do not create files that anyone can overwrite.
   ERROR:       See "Examples of uses of find" to find these files.
