======UNIX====== =====Case Studies===== ===Case Study 0x1: Archive Handling=== Learned about Archives: * learned how to compress files with **gzip** Used cp -r /var/public/unix/archives ~ to copy to home directory. \\ Looking through the manual pages **man gzip** gunzip archive1.tar.gz unzipped this\\ and\\ unzip archive2.zip worked for that file \\ tar -xf arc.tar archives created the archive I dont believe tar, gzip and zip are all that different just different forms of archiving. ===Case Study 0x2: Unconventional Naming=== Using * Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat one* and it returned spaces, commas, two types of quotes... oh my! Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat '???'* and it returned This file has spaces and ?'s in its name. Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat '`ls'* and it returned will the weird filenames ever end? Using \ Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat just\ a\ simple\ file.txt it returned Simple, but simpler without the spaces! Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat change\ my\\\ name.file it returned This file has spaces and a backslash in its name. Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat \*\*\*\ watch\ out\!\ \*\*\* it returned Care must be taken when using the '!' symbol, as it deals with history. \\ Its Interesting on how the "\" removes spaces and symbols such as other slashes and stars. \\ Using "" Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat "compress \"this\" file.data" it returned this file has spaces and double quotes in its name. \\ I had to use the slashes to remove the quotes from "this" \\ Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat "#pico28903#" it returned laLAA... pretend this is a pico temp file. \\ Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat "( parenthesis & other odd things )" it returned Are we having fun yet? \\ Typed: lab46:~/badname/exercise$ cat "\$USER VALUE\$" it returned Watch out for those $ signs \\ Had to use the slashes to remove the "$" I was able to remove "- challenge round -" with -- by looking in the man pages: lab46:~/badname/challenge$ rm -- -\ challenge\ round\ - ===Case Study 0x3: The Puzzle Box=== \\ File.txt appears to be ASCII text\\ When using cat it says it appears to be a simple text file and contains ASCII text.\\ When compressed with gzip and ran with file(1) it returns file.txt.gz: gzip compressed data, was "file.txt", from Unix, last modified: Fri Dec 6 16:06:32 2013 When compressed with the fastest speed gzip -1 file.txt it returns file.txt.gz: gzip compressed data, was "file.txt", from Unix, last modified: Fri Dec 6 16:06:32 2013, max speed Using cat on abcd.txt returns random symbols, when running file(1) on it it returned it was a .tar file\\ used tar -xf abcd.txt ===Case Study 0x4: Unix Messaging Tools=== \\ 1. lwall1 and jkosty6 \\ 2. a. jkosty6 has messages disabled. \\ b.

It does the same thing outputs it to the string except outputting it to \\tty compacts it more and outputs it to the terminal a different way. It seems to run it like a script. \\ 7. It just displays it to the terminal. Might be useful for multiple \\terminals, for a superuser that wants to send something to multiple users. \\ ===Case Study 0x7: Scheduled Tasks=== \\ d. my bot name is mybot \\ e.

File1 changed into "-This is text-" \\ 4. \\ b. It changed into More text... \\ d. This put file1 and file1234 into file2. This happened because file* is file with anthing after it and file1 were redirected into file2. \\ 5. \\ b. lab46:~/shell$ ls file555 ls: cannot access file555: No such file or directory \\ d.The error didn't go away because the file555 doesn't exist. \\ f. The error went away because of the STDERR redirection operator. \\ g. This just used STDIN with cat into file 2 \\ 7. \\ b. lab46:~/shell$ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/local/java/bin \\ d. nothing changed because it means the same thing. \\ f.
