write or type your answers in that file, save or scan to pdf and submit that
file using gradescope.
1. (3 pts) Open a command line terminal on an
Andrew machine and run the following commands. Describe in a sentence or two
what you understand from the output of each command. You are not expected to
understand every detail; try to extract the most useful information you can
from the output. You are encouraged to use the Web as a resource. You can also
use the man command to read
the manual pages about a given Unix/Linux command. For example, man who would give you information about what who does and how to use it.
Here's
an example of the kind of answer we want (for the command hostname): "hostname gives the name of the computer you are
using."
2. (3 pts) Again, feel free to search the Web
to help you answer these questions. Your answers should be just a sentence or
two.
