Login to your UNIX account
Start a script session
Show the contents of your home directory
Show your location (path) in the UNIX file system
Make a new directory called '231'
Show the contents of your home directory
Enter the newly created ‘231’ directory
Show the contents of the newly created ‘231’ directory
Show your location (path) in the UNIX file system
Go to the official directory for CPSC 231 (/home/231)
Show the contents of the CPSC 231 directory
Show your location (path) in the UNIX file system
Go to the directory for Assignment 1 (/home/231/assignments/assignment1)
Show the contents of the Assignment 1 directory
Show your location (path) in the UNIX file system
Display the contents of the file called 'index.txt' onscreen. Show the file one screen a screen at a time (with a prompt for the user to continue) rather than all at once. [JT's comment: This step may result in a small amount of 'garbage' or nonsense text appearing on your paper printout. If the garbage only appears for this step (partway through the display of this file) and/or each of your steps is clear enough for your marker to see each distinct step then you can still get full marks for this assignment.]
Try to delete the 'index.txt' file [JT's Hint: you aren't supposed to be able to complete this step successfully but instead you should get an error message.]
Copy the file to the newly created ‘231’ directory that you created in your home directory
Go to the 231 directory that is located in your home directory
Show the contents of the ‘231’ directory. (It should include the file 'index.txt' now.)
End the script session
Print out the script - it should be saved as a file called ''typescript'. You can either use the CPSC printers to print out the typescript file or if you prefer you can use the Ssh file transfer program and print it from home. Annotate your printout by hand (i.e., use an ink pen or felt pen) to clearly number and label steps 2 - 21. Hand the printout into the appropriate assignment box for your tutorial – make sure you read the general assignment submission guidelines to make sure that you haven't missed anything!
4 marks if all steps were properly completed
3 marks if a step was missed or improperly completed
2 marks if two steps were missed or improperly completed
1 mark if three steps were missed or improperly completed
Zero marks if more than three steps were missed or improperly completed
