> 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).

> $ ls | grep name > man
>
>
> 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.)
>
> $ Awk sed > grep find uncompress archive foo-4.2.tar.gz | tar -xvf
archive foo-4.2.tar
> Or did you want gzip rather than uncompress??
>
> 3. Q: Send a hangup signal to the system's sendmail daemon. (Bonus:
> pretend killall(1) command doesn't exist, as in OpenBSD.)
>
> $ pine > elm kill -SIGHUP outlook

>
> 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.)

> $ vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
insert the following lines
[linuxbox]

comment = Linux box
path = /~/src
browseable = yes
restart samba with /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
Go to a Windows machine and map a drive to linuxbox
Use the advanced find feature in Windows
(This is by no means an endorsement of stupid Windows)

> $ cp /tmp/*.html *.php
find /tmp -name html | rm -f
