Using cat create a pipe that will concatenate the two files club_members and names, sort them and send the output to the file s1.

Using cat create a pipe that will concatenate the two files club_members and names, sort them in reverse order and send the output to the file s2.

Sort the file club_members numerically by meetings attended (this is the last field). Send the output to file s3

Sort the /etc/passwd numerically by user id numbers (third field) in ascending order. You may wish to use the -t option here. Send the output to file s4

Use grep on /usr/share/dict/words to find the first word that contains the three letter sequence wta
wta word:

Use grep piped through wc on file /usr/share/dict/words to find the number of words that contain the letter x.
ber words:

Use grep to find all lines in /etc/passwd that do not have nologin one the line. Make grep include the line numbers of the matching lines and send the output to file s5

Use ls -l and grep to find all the files and directories in the directory /etc that were last modified in May (hint: try looking for the case sensitive string "May"). Send this list to s6. Do not descend into any subdirectories.

Use ls -l and grep and sort to find all the files and directories in /etc that were last modified in Jun. Do not descend into subdirectories. Sort this list in descending order of size and then alphabetically by name (so 2 files with the same size will appear in alphabetic order). Send the output to s7. Sorting using other techniques will probably not get the same answer...

Find all the files and directories in /var (including subdirectories) that are owned by user root. Send the list of full path names to s8.

Your find command may produce "Permission Denied" errors during this search. This will have no effect on the answer, and this error can be safely ignored for this question.

Find all the files in /etc (including subdirectories) end .conf Send the list of full path names to s9.

Your find command may produce "Permission Denied" errors during this search. This will have no effect on the answer, and this error can be safely ignored for this question.

Find all the files and directories in the alice directory that are newer than s1. Send the output of the command to /var/tmp/t1 (don't send it to the alice directory). The names of the files should appear as full names. For example, the file "s5" would appear as "/home/alice/s5". The "/home/alice", if it appears in the output, should not have a trailing "/". The secret to avoiding the trailing slash is to use "/home/alice" not "/home/alice/" in the find command.

Find all the files in the directory directory /etc/ and its subdirectories that are larger than 1 megabyte (which you can assume is 2048 blocks of 512 bytes). Send the output to s10.

Your find command may produce "Permission Denied" errors during this search. This will have no effect on the answer, and this error can be safely ignored for this question.

Create a directory called smallc in /home/alice. Copy into it all the file that begin with s from /usr/include that are smaller or equal to 12K. You may find these instructions on the use of find from Developer's Daily useful.

Your find command may produce "Permission Denied" errors during this search. This will have no effect on the answer, and this error can be safely ignored for this question.
