According to the scenario, the S status message shows that the process id 24224 is in sleeping status.

The ps -aux command reports the status of processes currently running on a Linux computer. It shows the following status messages:

The Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination is used to terminate the X session.

Answer option A is incorrect. The Ctrl+Alt+F7 key combination is used to switch from a virtual console back to the X terminal.

Answer option C is incorrect. The Ctrl+Alt+Fn key combination is used to switch from graphical mode to the nth (n varies from 1-6) virtual console running in text mode.

Answer option D is incorrect. Ctrl+Alt+A is not a valid key combination to terminate the X session.

The env command is used to list the environment variables that are set on a Linux computer.

The programs that run on a Linux computer are known as processes. When a user starts a program, a new process is created. This process runs within what is called an environment. A user can set parameters in this environment so that the running program can find the desired values. The following syntax is used to set a parameter to a variable:

VARIABLE=value

This would set a parameter by the name VARIABLE with the value that you provide. Some of the commonly used environment variables are HOME, PATH, PS1, etc.

Answer option B is incorrect. The rm command is used to delete files from a directory on a Linux computer.

Answer option C is incorrect. The ls command is used to list files on a Linux computer.

Answer option D is incorrect. The echo $shell command will provide the name of the current shell that a user is using.

You will use the yum install firefox command to install the package named firefox in the Linux system. This command will search the configured repositories for the package named firefox, and if found, will install the latest version, pulling in dependencies if needed.

Answer options B and D are incorrect. The -ivh and i options are not used with the yum command.

Answer option A is incorrect. The yum update firefox command is used to update a package in the Linux system. It is not used to install a package in Linux. If run without any specified package, the update option will update every currently installed package. If one or more packages are specified, yum will only update the listed packages. While updating packages, yum will ensure that all dependencies are satisfied.

The cat data.txt.* command will display both the splitted files, and the > command will redirect the output into a new data.txt file.

What is the cat command?

The concatenate (cat) command is used to display or print the contents of a file.

Syntax: cat filename

For example, the following command will display the contents of the /var/log/dmesg file: cat /var/log/dmesg

Note: The more command is used in conjunction with the cat command to prevent scrolling of the screen while displaying the contents of a file.

What is > command?

The > command is used for storing the output generated by different commands. It creates a file specified to store the output. If the specified file already exists, it overwrites that file.

Answer option A is incorrect. This command will open a new file data.txt.* into the vi editor.

Answer option D is incorrect. This command will give the vi editor a warning "output is not to a terminal" since the vi terminal cannot be redirected into the data.txt file.

Answer option B is incorrect. The less command displays only the first file data.txt.aa, and the > command redirects the output into the data.txt file. Hence, John will not get the desired output using this command.

The Interface configuration files are read by system-config-network, ifup, ifdown, and other tools that bring network interfaces up and down.

Answer option B is incorrect. The system-config-services tool is used to manage services in Linux.

The commands to put data from a buffer into the document are p and P. p puts the data below the current line and P puts the data above the current line.

What is the p command?

The p command is used to put (paste) data from a buffer into the document. If data is line oriented

(a line or a paragraph), the p command will open a new line below the current line and place the data on this line. If data is character oriented (a letter, word, or sentence), the p command will place the data after the cursor.

What is the P command?

The P command is used to put data from a buffer into a document. How this command works depends on the nature of the data in the buffer. If the data is line oriented, the P command will open a new a line above the current line and paste the data there. If the data is character oriented, the P command will put the data before the cursor. Answer option D is incorrect. The ps command displays the status of the current processes in Linux. Answer option A is incorrect. The :set command lists a small number of important configuration items in vim.

Open source software is software that has been released under an Open Source Initiative (OSI) certified license. The definition includes 10 criteria, which are described as follows:

Open source software is software that has been released under an Open Source Initiative (OSI) certified license. The definition includes 10 criteria, which are described as follows:

1. Free Redistribution: The license allows any party selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution comprising programs from many different sources.

2. Source code: Anyone can modify the source code.

3. Derived Works: The license must allow changes and derived work under the same conditions as the license of the original software.

4. Integrity of the authors source code: To maintain the integrity of the original authors work, the license may require that changes to the code be provided in patch form.

5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups: The license must be nondiscriminatory with respect to persons or group of persons.

Therefore, open source license are forbidden from locking anyone out of the process.

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor: The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the software in a specific field of endeavor.

7. Distribution of License: The license can be distributed to all but the rights attached to that program must apply to all to whom the program is distributed. And no party can execute any additional license.

8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product: It may not require that the software be part of particular distribution.

9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software: It may not restrict other non-open source software.

10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral: It may not require the use of technology to apply the license.

Answer options B and A are incorrect. These are the characteristics of closed source software.

According to the scenario, John will execute the foo && bar; command. Because of the && operator, bar will execute if and only if foo completes successfully.

Answer option C is incorrect. The foo; bar; command sequence will run foo and bar in a sequential manner, but the successful completion of the first command does not matter.

Answer option D is incorrect. The foo || bar; command sequence will run the bar if and only if foo fails to complete successfully.

Answer option B is incorrect. In the foo | bar; command sequence, the output of the foo command will be the input for the bar command.

Mail delivery is most typically done through one of the SMTP family of protocols, either SMTP or

ESMTP.

What is the ESMTP protocol?

ESMTP (Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) specifies extensions to the original protocol for sending e-mail that supports graphics, audio and video files, and text in different national languages. The original

Internet protocols for sending e-mail are described in Request for Comments (RFC) 822, Standard for the Format of ARPA

Internet Text Messages, and in RFC 821, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). As users demanded to attach various kinds of files to email, the need for additional facilities arose and resulted in RFC 1869, Extended Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. ESMTP provides the facility for a client e-mail program to ask a server e-mail program which facilities it supports and then communicate accordingly.

Answer options A and D are incorrect. IMAPS and POP3S are used for mail pickup.

What is the POP3S protocol?

Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is the protocol that clients use to pick up mail from servers.

Users of POP3 generally store their mail locally on their system and configure their mail client to pick up new mail periodically.

POP3 servers need clients to authenticate with a username and password. This ensures that only authenticated clients can pick up the user's email. Unfortunately, POP3 is an unencrypted protocol, so the username and password travel in cleartext.

POP3S, on the other hand, is POP3 over Secure Sockets Layer. It provides an encrypted connection for the Post Office Protocol. More significantly, it provides an encrypted connection over which the username and password may be transmitted for authentication purposes.

The departmental mail server provides POP3 (internally) and POP3S (internally and externally).

Ultimately, POP3 support will be turned off in favor of IMAPS, which is a more modern protocol that can do everything POP3 can.
