Question

Using Ubuntu Command line. Please list out the commands and also provide the “script” command to record the whole session input/output.

Instruction Professor Karam is preparing his teaching materials for the new semester. He needs to re- organize the directories and files a bit. Please help him to complete the following tasks in the command line environment. Use the "script" command to record the whole session input/output to a file named "it4423-(your email id).txt". Note: practice and write down the process first and make sure you don't make any mistakes during the recording process 1. Figure 1 shows the current directory structure. Rectangular boxes are directories and ovals are text files. Create a directory structure as shown in Figure 1 in your personal or home folder (directory) as a starting point. Perform a serial of file and directory operations to arrive a structure as shown in Figure 2. Use the most efficient commands (as few as possible) to accomplish this - hint: do not use too many "cd" commands 2. 3. After you have finished, list all files and sub-directories (at all levels) in the IT4423-(your id)" directory using the "tree" command (you may have to install the tree command, the system will tell you how). Take a screenshot of your desktop with the terminal open the result should be clearly seen. Verify the structure is the same as in Figure 2. Note File "Test1" is renamed to "Midterm"; "Final" is a another copy of "Test1'" File "plan" and "lab" are the same in "Week1" and "Week2". File "Syllabus-template" is a copy of "Syllabus" File "Syllabus" in "Week1" is a link to "Syllabus" in "Fall 2012" The top level directory name should be "IT4423-(your email id)" ("jzheng" is an example id) Make other reasonable assumptions if necessary. But clearly state your assumptions in the document.

Explanation / Answer

First of all we would set the directory structure specified in the question on my desktop. Then we need to execute linux command as specified to obtain the desried directory structure

I couldn't install tree on my system. But you can use tree command to view the directory structure as

root@kali:~/Desktop# tree

this will show you final directory tree

you will get the script in email.txt
