Even though Linux has a lot of commands, sometimes it is necessary to write simple (and some not so simple) scripts when we have to automate jobs.
The Bash shell is capable of running scripts and it also possible to write scripts in the various programming languages that exist in Linux (such as AWK, Python and Ruby).
The following scripts need to be written and tested:
- booklist
Manage a book database: print, insert, select, delete, update - compareperm
Check whether two files have the same permissions
Usage: compareperm file1 file2 - largestfile
prints the largest file in a directory
Usage: largestfile directory - findhardlinks
Find links (not symbolic) to a given file
Usage: findhardlinks file [directory] - summarise
prints number of normal files, directories and symbolic links
summarise directory - combine
Sorts and merges the content of two files
Usage: combine file1 file2 - anagrams
Write a program which displays all anagrams from
/usr/share/dict/words
