Back to my favourite thing to do challenges on this week, Linux! In a terminal session on MUN’s Linux servers (accessed via the instructions below or by simply logging into Linux on a LabNet machine), screenshot a session of you completing the following:
- Navigating to a directory that has some files in it;
- Listing contents of the directory;
- Redirecting content listing of a directory to a new file;
- Append some text to the content listing file;
- Piping output of “sort” of the above file through “less”, showing a sorted version (alphabetically by default) of the file (hint: this is demonstrated under the “Piping” section of the tutorial using “ls”. Your command will start with “sort” and “head” should be replaced with “less”);
You can include multiple steps on 1 screenshot, but attach as many screenshots as needed. Include these as image files. Please note you should be logged in to MUN’s Linux servers for this challenge.
Follow this tutorial for help (Section 11 will help you with the majority of this challenge, but Section 1 – 3, and Section 9 are very helpfu): https://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/ Also, bringing up the manual of commands can be helpful and is also explained under the tutorials.
