Answer 1

Answer

VII) making 3 directory in current workspace is simple in linux. We can use mkdir command. If we want to create more than one directory we can do the following way, here we want to create NEW,BACKUP,a nd OLD.

mkdir {NEW,BACKUP,OLD}

VIII)

a) Here i am using cat command to write 5 line into the file and stored as Personal_Content.txt in NEW folder.

cat > Personal_Content.txt
#enter the content here, To write and quit process press CTRL+Z

b) Here we can use the df linux command. It will expose the available and used disk space on the Linux system.

df -h   #human readable form
df -a   #the file system's complete disk usage
df -T   #the disk usage along with each block's filesystem type(ext3,ext4 etc)
df -i  #used and free inode

#we can combine parameters Here df -ha -Ti

Here i am using df -h and stored in NEW folder as follows

df -h >Free_Space_Content.txt

c) Here we can use ls command to list all the file permission and etc. we we need add long listing parameter to obtain the permissions. Here is the syntax

ls -l  #it will show all the file and permission in current directory

To create a file Directory_content. We can use the following syntax

ls -l > Directory_Content.txt

d) Here we can copy the content of Directory_Contet.txt to Copied_Content.txt, So we can use cp command

E) Here we can use date command, It has different application ,so please refer to the internet too. Here i am going to make a file named as Time_File.txt using following command.

date > Time_File.txt

For these Steps I have used following command.Please copy these command.

mkdir {NEW,BACKUP,OLD}
cd NEW
cat >Personal_Content.txt
df -h>Free_Space_Content.txt
ls -l > Directory_Content.txt
date >Time_File.txt

Any Doubts please comment and upvote too..
