  1. What is wrong with this script?

    #!/bin/bash
read -p "Enter your pet type." PET
if [ $PET = dog ] ;then
    echo "You have a dog"
fi
    • If the value of PET doesn’t match dog, the script will return a nonzero status code.
    • There is nothing wrong with it. The condition checks the value of PET perfectly.
    • It will fail if the user hits the Enter (Return) key without entering a pet name when prompted.
    • The then statement needs to be on a separate line.

  1. How can you gather history together for multiple terminals?

    • It just works by default.
    • history --shared
    • history --combined
    • shopt -s histappend

  1. What is the difference between the $@ and $* variables?

    • $@ treats each quoted argument as a separate entity. $* treats the entire argument string as one entity.
    • $* treats each quoted argument as a separate entity. $@ treats the entire argument string as one entity.
    • $* is used to count the arguments passed to a script, $@ provides all arguments in one string.
    • $* is the wildcard that includes all arguments with word splitting, $@ holds the same data but in an array.

  1. Which command is being run in this script to check if file.txt exists?

    if [ -f file.txt ]; then
    echo "file.txt exists"
fi
    • /usr/bin/test
    • /usr/bin/[
    • the built-in [ command
    • /usr/bin/[[

  1. What will be the output of this script?

    #!/bin/bash
Linux=('Debian' 'Redhat' 'Ubuntu' 'Android' 'Fedora' 'Suse')
x=3

Linux=(${Linux[@]:0:$x} ${Linux[@]:$(($x + 1))})
echo "${Linux[@]}"
    • Debian Redhat Ubuntu Android Fedora Suse
    • Android
    • Fedora Suse
    • Debian Redhat Ubuntu Fedora Suse



  1. Which file allows you to save modifications to the shell environment across sessions?

    • /etc/bash.conf
    • ~/.profile
    • /etc/bashprofile
    • ~/profile

  1. Given the listed permissions on data.txt is it possible that user2 could have read, write, and execute permissions on data.txt?

    $ ls -l
total 0
-rwx------+ 1 user1 user1 0 Oct 27 10:54 data.txt
    • No, it’s clear that user2 does not have read, write, and execute permissions.
    • Yes, the + at the end of the 10-digit permission string signifies there’s an access control list. This could possibly give user2 permissions not visible by ls -l.
    • It’s possible that SELinux provides read, write, and execute permissions for user2 which are not visible with ls -l.
    • Yes, the + at the end of the 10-digit permission string signifies there’s an extended attribute set. This could give user2 permissions to read, write, and execute data.txt.

  1. What does this script accomplish?

    #!/bin/bash
declare -A ARRAY=([user1]=bob [user2]=ted [user3]=sally)
KEYS=(${!ARRAY[@]})

for (( i=0; $i < ${#ARRAY[@]}; i+=1 ));do
        echo ${KEYS[$i]} - ${ARRAY[${KEYS[$i]}]}
done
    • It sorts the associative array named ARRAY and stores the results in an indexed array named KEYS. It then uses this sorted array to loop through the associative array ARRAY.
    • Using a C-style for loop, it loops through the associative array named ARRAY using the associative array’s keys and outputs both the key and values for each item.
    • It creates an indexed array of the associative array named ARRAY. It then uses a C-style for loop and the indexed array to loop through all items in the associative array, outputting the key and value of each array item using the index number.
    • It creates an associative array named ARRAY, which it loops through using a C-style for loop and the index numbers of each item in the associative array’s keys, outputting the value of each item.

  1. What file would match the code below?

    ls Hello[[.vertical-line.]]World
    • Nothing, this is an invalid file glob.
    • Hello.vertical-line.World
    • Hello[[.vertical-line.]]World
    • Hello|World

  1. What will be in out.txt?

    ls nonexistentfile | grep "No such file" > out.txt
    • No such file
    • ls: cannot access nonexistentfile: No such file or directory
    • Nothing, out.txt will be empty.
    • It will be the contents of nonexistentfile.



  1. For the script to print “Is numeric” on screen, what would the user have to enter when prompted?

    #!/bin/bash
read -p "Enter text " var
if [[ "$var" =~ "^[0-9]+$" ]];then
    echo "Is numeric"
else
    echo "Is not numeric"
fi
    • Any sequence of characters that includes an integer
    • The user would have to enter the character sequence of ^[0-9]]+$ Only this will prove to be true and “Is numeric” would be printed on the screen due to incorrect syntax. By encapsulating the regular expression in double quotes every match will fail except the text string ^[0-9]+$
    • One or more characters that only includes integers
    • Due to a syntax error it is impossible to get the script to print "Is numeric"

    NOTE: The regex must not be quoted to work properly.

  1. What will be the difference between the output on the screen and the contents of out.txt

    mysql < file.sql > out.txt
    • The output on the screen will be identical to out.txt
    • There will be no output on the screen as it’s being redirected to out.txt.
    • The output on the screen will be identical to out.txt plus line numbers.
    • The out.txt file will hold STDERR and STDOUT will go to the screen.

  1. How would you find the last copy command run in your history?

    • history | find cp

  1. When used from within a script, which variable contains the name of the script?

    • $0
    • $# // number of positional parameters

  1. What does the + signify at the end of the 10-digit file permissions on data.txt?

    ls -l
-rwx------+ 1 user1 u1 0 Oct 1 10:00 data.txt
