Hello,

My name is Mike and I am wondering if anyone is familiar with how to complete a Files Processing Command worksheet'

I am new to this. Can anyone give advice>

#1 Don't double post to bump your thread.
#2 Don't do #1 after 5 minutes

#3 Explain your problem with a lot more detail.
What do you mean by a "Files Processing Command" worksheet?

As I stated, I am new to this. My intentions were not to double post but pursue advice on how this works.

That's fine. But more explanation of what your problem is. Explain in more detail what " Files Processing Command worksheet" is.
Unless we understand your problem, we cannot help you.

I think what Mike was talking about was an assignment he was trying to do for college. I am having the same issue. Our assignment is as follows:

Assignment Preparation: Activities include completing the SkillSoft course, independent student reading, and research.

Complete the "navigate a filesystem, create a file, set permissions, create and delete files, and assign ownership and permissions" modules in the SkillSoft course, "Working with UNIX Files and Directories."

Assignment: Complete the University of Phoenix Material: File Processing Commands Worksheet located on the student website.

What I need to know, is how to complete the "File Processing Commands Worksheet"? Below is what the worksheet calls for.


University of Phoenix Material

File Processing Commands Worksheet

1. What UID and PID have the highest amount of physical memory a process has used and is not swapped out? Show all processes and full output.



2. If using a long listing and no process modifiers, what is the swap space amount for the bash command?



3. When using top command, what command would you use to kill a process?



4. If you were not using top command, what command would you use to kill a process?



5. What command would you use to manually mount the standard CD-ROM device /dev/db1 at /media/disk?



6. What command would you use to display the amount of available disk space on /dev/db1 in a human readable form?



7. Type in the command grep - - help to access the help manual. Using this information and the information from the text, how would you write a command to find the pattern 111 in a file called myfile.txt?

Do I get the answers from entering information on a UNIX or LINUX terminal? And if so, where do I find the terminal to do my work?

this remindes me of that dethklok episode where they go to a grocery store and the guy goes up to a random woman and is like: "hey grandma, is there olives in it ?".
and the woman has no idea what hes talking about so shes like: "in what ?".
and hes like: "lemon tarts, you wrinkled t***" (like its obvious she shouldve known the answer without any background context).

First, welcome to LQ!

It is usually better to open your own thread with your own questions, but since yours does indeed appear to be the same as the OP's this is as good a place as any I suppose.

I am a little surprised that you could be asked these kinds of questions without having already had some actual hands-on time in a terminal. Is this an instructed course or an online read-along-with-us course? If you have an instructor then you should definitely ask for some assistance in getting oriented to whatever system that you are using. If read-along, then it would be worthwhile to review from the beginning and get a little better oriented.

Finally, since the purpose here is "independent student reading and research", I shouldn't try to offer complete answers, but with the information we have that wouldn't be possible anyway.

So, where to find a terminal depends on what system you are working with. But all Unix/Linux systems will have an easily accessible terminal. If you are working with someone else's system, ask them what flavor of Unix or Linux it is. If you are sitting at a console with a blinking cursor, then you are already in a terminal.

But honestly, if you are trying to learn Linux there is really no substitute for installing your own system - there are many to choose from and they are free! So fire up that old laptop or desktop and install something that you can work with on demand and start learning! It really isn't difficult and is very rewarding!

Good luck!

assuming you are using 'fedora-22 lxde' clik on the fedora button -> system tools -> terminal.
