Due: Friday, January 6, at 11 pm (you really really don't want to burn up late days on this one!).
The purpose of this assignment is to be sure that you have your Linux environment set up for the quarter and that you can log in and execute shell commands. We recommend that you use the CSE Linux Virtual Machine, but it is ok if you use another reasonably recent Linux system. You will need a 64-bit Linux system for one of the later assignments, but for now a 32-bit system will also work.
bash
.
Otherwise you will run into strange, baffling problems with shell scripts.
Enter the command echo $SHELL
. The response should be /bin/bash
.
If the shell name is different (csh
, tcsh
, or something
else), use the appropriate commands on your system to change your login shell
to bash
. On many unix systems this can be done with the command
chsh
or ypchsh
. If you are using the EE Linux
machines, there is a separate web page to set your login shell - it's the
same one you use to change your
password.script
command will capture the terminal session and
save it in a file named hw0.script
on the desktop.cd cd Desktop script hw0.script whoami echo $SHELL pwd uname -a exit
hw0.script
file created in problem 1. The drop box will allow you to
turn in your homework up to
two days late, if you choose to use one or two of your late days, but you are strongly advised to save your
late days for later in the quarter when they may be much more useful.
