Not yet. Worked on getting my network printer working using CUPS. Then decided to look at my test notes and see if they worked. Some of what I wrote down in my class notes does not work, such as:
Question 8.
I know "ps" is right, but I have "ps - us" which is wrong. There must have been something is class that made me write it down.
Question 9.
Control f will waken it, but control z, which I thought would put it back to sleep, does not seem to do anything.
Question 10.
my notes say "sleep 20 &;sleep 20 & job"
I don't really understand the question and I have no idea what the commands I wrote down are supposed to do.
Question 13.
I have "ps aux | grep $LOGNAME kill -9 <pid>" which makes no intuitive sense to me.
Question 14.
I have :at 11:59 am echo "time for tea" | mail -s "reminder" $LOGNAME"
I get messages that the time format is not right, there us no body and a lot of mail with just "reminder" and no body. I would have tried "teatime" but I wanted instant feedback.
I tried all of my other answers and they seemed to work. My script (q 31) works.
