cron jobs
 

I need to set up a cron job so that, once every 10 minutes, the computer will automatically archive the home directory and all subdirectories (/home). The archive is to be named homeback.tar, and is placed in a directory named /backup.

I need to create a user named backupadmin, and ensure that only the user named backupadmin will have access to the /backup directory.

Look in your other thread for the answer.
You need to do some research.

Kind regards

From the menu click System;Administration;Users and Groups. Click Add to add a new user. After the new user is added, select that user and click Advanced. In the advanced window you can enable / disable administration access. when the User with administration access is logged in, then you can right click the folder you want to restrict access to and select properties. In the properties menu select permissions and restrict the access to only the User with Administrator access.

I need modify the /etc/skel directory so that all newly created users will automatically receive a file called README in their home directory that contains new employee information.

Yes...this is the third time you posted the same question.

As others have said, do your own homework. You've been pointed to the man pages, (which will tell you most everything you need to know), and a very brief Google search can easily answer these questions as well.

However, I think what you've come HERE for is not the knowledge, but rather someone to do it FOR you. And this really isn't the place to get success with that. We are always glad to HELP, but we will not do your work FOR YOU. If you're stuck, post a detailed question explaining the situation.

I took the liberty to merge the two closely related threads/the dupe of one of
the posts and its follow ups.
