is used to estimate file space usage, and the sg command is used to execute command sequences for
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) devices.

To interrupt a process by name we use A. kill B. ps C. top D. pkill E. jobs

The correct answer is D. pkill.

The pkill command is used to send signals to processes based on their name, allowing users to interrupt
processes that are not responding or consuming too much system resources. The kill command is used
to send signals to processes based on their process ID (PID). The ps command is used to display
information about active processes. The top command is used to monitor system resource usage, and
the jobs command is used to display information about jobs running in the background.

Which of the following TCP/IP network utilities is BEST used to determine the hardware ethernet

The ifconfig command is a TCP/IP network utility used to configure network interfaces and display
information about them. It can also be used to determine the hardware Ethernet address of the card(s)
installed in the current machine. The netstat command displays active network connections and routing
tables. The ethers command is used to display or modify the contents of the Ethernet address resolution
cache, and the arpwatch command is used to monitor Ethernet and IP address pairings.

The path to a location can be defined by an ___________ from the root /, or as a relative path from the
current working directory. A. Whole path B. Absolute path C. File path D. Linux path E. Round Path

The correct answer is B. Absolute path.

The path to a location can be defined by an absolute path from the root directory (/), or as a relative
path from the current working directory. An absolute path specifies the full path starting from the root
directory, while a relative path specifies the path from the current working directory. A file path and a
Linux path both refer to the same concept of specifying the location of a file or directory in a Linux file
system. "Round Path" is not a valid term in the context of file paths in Linux.
The Linux executables files is found in the directory A. /etc B. /bin C. /boot D. /lib

The correct answer is B. /bin.

In Linux, the executable files are typically found in the /bin directory. This directory contains essential

that creates a new user account, sets up the home directory and other user settings, and assigns a user
ID (UID) and group ID (GID) to the user. The grpadd command is used to add a new group to the system.
The uadd command and adduser command are not valid commands in Linux or Unix.

Common architecture designations for RPM package names include the following EXCEPT for which
option: A. "i386" for Intel386. B. "mac" for Macintosh. C. "alpha" for DEC Alpha. D. "sparc" for Sun Sparc

The correct answer is B. "mac" for Macintosh.

Common architecture designations for RPM package names include "i386" for Intel386, "alpha" for DEC
Alpha, and "sparc" for Sun Sparc. However, "mac" is not a common architecture designation for RPM
package names. This is because RPM is primarily used on Linux and Unix systems, and Macintosh
computers use a different operating system (macOS) that uses a different package management system
(such as Homebrew or MacPorts).

name, terminal, idle time, and the time they logged in. The who command displays a list of all logged-in
users, including their login name, terminal, and the time they logged in. The write command is used to
send messages to another user
When we execute a C program, CPU runs in ____ mode. A. user B. kernel C. supervisory D. system

The correct answer is A. user mode.

When we execute a C program, the CPU runs in user mode. User mode is a non-privileged mode that
allows user-level programs to execute on the CPU. In user mode, programs are restricted in terms of the
system resources they can access, such as hardware devices and memory addresses. This is done for
security reasons to prevent user-level programs from interfering with the operating system or other
programs running on the system. The kernel mode (also known as privileged mode or system mode) is a
privileged mode that allows the operating system to perform low-level operations on the system.

close system call returns ____ A. 0 B. 1 C. May be D. 0 and -1

The correct answer is A. 0.

The close() system call is used to close a file descriptor or a socket. It returns an integer value that
indicates whether the call was successful or not. A return value of 0 indicates success, and a return value
of -1 indicates an error occurred. If an error occurred, an error code is stored in the errno variable. So,
the correct answer is A, as close() system call returns 0 when it is successful.

All processes are said to be “descendants” of which process? A. Pipe B. Dev C. Init D. Bios E. pid

All processes are said to be “descendants” of the init process.

The init process is the first process that is started during the boot process and is the ancestor of all other
processes on the system. It has a process ID (PID) of 1 and is responsible for starting and stopping
system services, among other tasks. When a new process is started, it is created as a child of the process
that started it. This creates a hierarchy of processes, with the init process at the top of the hierarchy.
Therefore, all processes can be traced back to the init process as their ancestor.

What is the default mode when vi is opened? A. Output mode B. Print mode C. Input mode D. Command
mode E. Display mode

In vi editor, there are different modes that allow you to perform different tasks. The Command mode is
the default mode when you open vi. In this mode, you can issue commands to the editor, such as
navigating the document, deleting text, and saving changes. To enter text, you need to switch to Insert
mode by pressing the i key or another command that enters Insert mode.
So, the correct answer is D. Command mode.

A shell is either a graphical user interface or a ………….. that provides direct user interactions. A.
Graphical command interface B. Command line interface C. Command user interface D. KDE E. GNOME

A shell is either a graphical user interface or a command line interface that provides direct user
interactions.

A shell is a program that acts as an interface between the user and the operating system, allowing users
to enter commands and interact with the system. It can be either a graphical user interface (GUI) or a
command line interface (CLI). In a CLI, users enter commands by typing them on a keyboard, while in a
GUI, users interact with the system using graphical elements such as windows, icons, and buttons.

So, the correct answer is B. Command line interface.

Which of the following regular expressions is means the preceding item will be matched one or more
items? A. * B. ? C. / D. . E. +

regular expression "ab+" matches "a" followed by one or more "b"s, such as "ab", "abb", "abbb", and so
on.

So, the correct answer is E. +.

A device file contains no data. A. True B. False C. May be D. Can't sa

A device file is a special type of file in Linux/Unix that represents a hardware device such as a hard disk,
CD-ROM, or printer. It is used to provide a uniform interface to access the device driver and interact
with the hardware device.

Device files do not contain any data themselves; they provide a way for the operating system to
communicate with the hardware. When data is read from or written to a device file, it is actually being
transferred to or from the corresponding hardware device.

So, the correct answer is A. True.

Adding a machine name to the file /etc/x0.host accomplishes which of the following: A. Restricts that
machine to a particular X port. B. Allows that machine to use a specific X port. C. Restricts that machine
from being accessed using X. D. Allows that machine to be accessed using X.

Option D is correct. Adding a machine name to the file /etc/x0.host allows that machine to be accessed
using X. The file /etc/x0.host is used by the X Window System to control access to the X server. By
default, the X server will only accept connections from the local machine, but by adding a machine name
to this file, you can allow other machines to access the X server as well.

The verbose option inside the tar command is

used to display detailed information about the files being archived or extracted. The correct syntax for
