Hi guys - when it came to interviewing time, I wanted to have a little
quiz ready to hand to applicants to test their Unix/Linux knowledge..
I'm hoping you guys will beta test this sucker.. give it a shot and
lemme know what you think, if you have time. Thanks!

Linux Quiz
This quiz consists of five questions, each slightly harder than the
last. The answers should all be command lines that anyone could enter
(choice of shell notwithstanding). They may include piping and
redirection, but not a ';' in the shell context (ie. you shouldn't
need multiple inputs, loops, subshells, etc.). If you aren't sure
exactly, try to get close - they're meant to get pretty tough.
1. Q: Find help for the command write(2).
$
2. Q: Uncompress and untar the archive foo-4.2.tar.gz into the current
directory. (Bonus: pretend tar(1)'s '-z' switch doesn't exist, as in
SunOS.)
$
3. Q: Send a hangup signal to the system's sendmail daemon. (Bonus:
pretend killall(1) command doesn't exist, as in OpenBSD.)
$
4. Q: Search all directories beneath and including ~/src for C source
and header files containing the case insensitive text 'todo'. Append
the filenames and matching text to ~/TODO. (Bonus: append filenames
only.)
$
5. Q: Move all files in the /tmp directory with a .html extension to a
.php extension instead.
