UD EXTRA: LINUX COMMNADS

PRACTICE LINUX COMMANDS:

1. Open a terminal.
2. Use the mkdir command to create a new directory called "UnixExercise."
3. Change to the newly created directory.
4. Create an empty file named "[Link]" using touch.
5. Use ls to list the contents of the directory and verify that "[Link]" has been created.
6. Copy "[Link]" to a new file named "[Link]" using cp.
7. Display the contents of "[Link]" using cat.
8. Open "[Link]" with the vi text editor and add a line of text. (Inside vi, press i to
enter insert mode, type your text, then press Esc followed by :wq to save and exit).
9. Search for the line you just added in "[Link]" using grep.
10. Use cut to extract the first word from "[Link]."
11. Rename "[Link]" to "[Link]" with mv.
12. List the contents of the directory again.
13. Create a new directory called "backup" with mkdir.
14. Copy "[Link]" to the "backup" directory using cp.
15. Change the permissions of "[Link]" with chmod so that only the owner can
write to it.
16. Change the owner of "[Link]" to another user using chown.
17. Use find to search for all files in the current directory.
18. Compress the current directory into a file named "[Link]" with tar.
19. Display the first 5 lines of the "[Link]" file with head.
20. Display the last 5 lines of the "[Link]" file with tail.
21. Sort the lines of the "[Link]" file alphabetically with sort.
22. Count the number of lines in "[Link]" with wc.
23. Create a new user named "new_user" with useradd.
24. Delete the newly created user with userdel.
25. Modify the properties of the current user with usermod.
26. Access the ls manual using man.
27. Check system logs with journalctl.
28. Display disk usage information with df.
29. View running processes with top or htop.
