1. cd - change directory

2. pwd - print working directory

3. ls - list files and directories

4. mkdir - make a directory

5. rm - remove a file or directory

6. cp - copy a file

7. mv - move or rename a file

User status commands include:

1. whoami - print the current user's username

2. id - print the current user's ID and group ID

3. groups - print the groups the current user belongs to


Experiment 2: Creating a File and Displaying its Statistics
Objective: To create a file called wlcc.txt with some lines and display how many lines, words, and character

To create a file called wlcc.txt, use the following command:

nano wlcc.txt

Add some lines to the file, for example:

This is the first line.

This is the second line.

This is the third line.

To display the number of lines, words, and characters in the file, use:

wc wlcc.txt

Output:

3 12 60 wlcc.txt

Explanation:

1. 3 is the number of lines

2. 12 is the number of words

3. 60 is the number of characters


Experiment 3: Finding Common Names in Two Files
Objective: Given two files each of which contains names of students, create a program to display only thos

Assume two files, file1.txt and file2.txt, with names:

file1.txt:

John

Alice

Bob

Charlie

file2.txt:

Alice

Bob

David

Eve

To find common names, use:

comm -12 file1.txt file2.txt

Output:

Alice

Bob

Explanation:

1. comm compares two sorted files.

2. -12 option displays lines common to both files.


Experiment 4: Finding the Inode Number of a File
Objective: Create a program to find out the inode number of any desired file.

To find the inode number of a file, use:

ls -i filename

For example:

ls -i wlcc.txt

Output:

12345 wlcc.txt

Explanation:

12345 is the inode number of the file wlcc.txt


Experiment 5: Changing File Permissions
Objective: Study and use of the command for changing file permissions.

To change file permissions, use:

chmod permissions filename

Example:

chmod 755 wlcc.txt

Explanation:

1. 7: owner has read, write, and execute permissions.

2. 5: group has read and execute permissions.

3. 5: others have read and execute permissions.


Experiment 6: Executing Shell Commands through VI Editor
Objective: Execute shell commands through VI editor.

To execute a shell command in VI editor, use:

:!command

Example:

:!ls

This executes the ls command and displays output in the VI editor.


Experiment 7: Installation, Configuration, and Customization of Unix/Linux
Objective: Installation, configuration, and customization of Unix/Linux.

Steps for installation, configuration, and customization:

1. Install the operating system.

2. Configure network settings.

3. Set up user accounts.

4. Customize the desktop environment.

5. Install additional software packages.


Experiment 8: Writing a Shell Script to Print Arguments in Reverse Order
Objective: Write a shell script that accepts any number of arguments and prints them in reverse order.

Create a file reverse_args.sh with:

#!/bin/bash

args=("$@")

for ((i=${#args[@]}-1; i>=0; i--)); do

echo "${args[i]}"

done

Make it executable:

chmod +x reverse_args.sh

Run the script:

./reverse_args.sh apple banana orange

Output:

orange

banana

apple

Explanation:

1. args=("$@") stores command-line arguments in an array.

2. Loop iterates in reverse order.

3. echo prints each argument.
