uploaded to Blackboard.WARNING: Some inattentive students upload Assignment #10 into the Assignment #9 upload area. Don’t make that mistake! Be exact.
Do not print this assignment on paper. On paper, you cannot follow any of the hyperlink URLs that lead you to hints and course notes relevant to answering a question.
assignment10.txt
answer file via Blackboard.Make sure you have all the numbered Prerequisites (above) before you begin.
Create a new plain text answer file named assignment10.txt
(on Windows or on Linux – you choose, but I suggest you choose vim
). For every question that you answered incorrectly on Midterm Test #2, reproduce in the answer file (1) the question you got wrong (from your own question sheet) and (2) the correct answer to the question. (If you had no incorrect answers, upload an empty answer file. If you missed the test, you have to copy the entire test and answer every question.)
Underneath each question and correct answer in your answer file, indicate where in the Class Notes (which section of which Class Notes file) you can learn how to generate this correct answer. No marks are awarded unless your source for getting the answer is shown. Show me that you know where in the notes the answer comes from. For example:
Q5. How do you recursively remove a non-empty directory?
Answer: rm -r
Source: Worksheet 3 section 5 rm command
Q9. What is a dangling symlink?
Answer: a link to a nonexistent target
Source: 460_symbolic_links.html section 6 Dangling Symlinks
You can copy-and-paste each question and the correct answer into your answer file. You must do your own work finding where the correct answer can be found. Marks are awarded for original typed work for the source, not for copy-and-paste from your friends. Any source answers that are found to be copy-and-paste from some other document will require you to resubmit the entire lab as hand-written and will result in a charge of plagiarism or academic fraud as well. Do your own research; type your own answer locations; no copy-and-paste.
In this assignment, you are only answering the questions that you got wrong on the midterm test, not all the questions. Just the ones you got wrong.
