Permission:
Computer holds many files and folders. Each file and folder has an authorized creator and user. Not all users are allowed to access files, folders, and contents in files and folders. For every object in files and folders, there are different properties.
Permission is one of the properties of object. Only the users who have privilege can use and perform some actions. If read only permission is given to user, then user is allowed only to read the contents of file but would not allowed to edit or change contents of file or folder.
File creator or network administrator or system admin defines the file and folder permissions. If a word file is given (read/write) permission, then user can read and update contents of file and save the file.

- (Linux) Your task is to write a script called process_files that will accept from the user as command line arguments a series of 3 strings representing file types. You must then create 4 directories – one for each file type and one for any files that do not match any of the file types - and separate the files into these new directories then return some information about these files to the user. For example if the user types process_files jpg gif docx Your script will sort the jpg/jpeg, gif and doc/docx files into their appropriate directoriesarrow_forwardMatch each of the following terms to its meaning:I.

- Simple SHELL (.sh) script Write a SHELL script (minExF.sh) that takes a csv file ("Comma Separated Values", a text file that can be manipulated by Excel) as an argument containing the grades of the mid-term (called intra) exams with the passing thresholds and calculates the minimum grades that must be obtained in the Final exam by adding them as a column to the initial information in the output file. Note: To manipulate large integers and real numbers use the Unix command bc . Here is an example of how to use of this command to add two non-integer numbers stored in the variables VAR1 and VAR2 : VAR1=5.5VAR2=3.14159RESULT='echo $VAR1+$VAR2 | bc'echo $RESULT The result displayed on the screen will be 8.64159. The first line contains titles (mid-terms, weight mid-term, weight final, treshold). The following lines contain information about the Intra (mid-term) exam scores, exam weights and weighting of the exams and the cut-off points for the two exams, Intra (mid-term) and Final.arrow_forwardLinux Homework Please show console output 1: Please create a script that prints “Hello, your name.” 2: Please create a directory call it yourname_bin, and add it to PATH.

The program will consist of a case statement that will accomplish the following: 1) Start an application. a. This app simply needs to a running loop until some event has occurred. Meaning that the program will merely sit there waiting to be stopped. b. You must create a file that contains the application name (file name) and the PID (inside of the text file) 2) Stop an application a. This will effectively terminate the application that you created. This must be done by finding the PID from the processes that are still running. 3) Status of the application a. This portion will need check for the existence of the application if it is running. You must give a status by statement indicating if it up or down along with: i. The PID ii. The PPID iii. How long the application has been running 4) Exit a.
