files in a directory (directory 4.5 CO
which is supplied as an argument to the shell script) whose size is exceeding 1024
bytes. The
filenames should be printed in descending order of their sizes. The total number of such files
should also be reported.
b A friend of yours has promised to login at a pårticular time.
However, he has not kept the 4.5 CO
promise. You want to contact him as soon as he logs in. write a shell script which checks after
every one minute (maximum 5 minutes) whether your friend has logged in or not. The log
name should be supplied to shell script as argument.
C. Writea shell script which receives filerames as arguments. If even number of filenames e.g.
4.5 CO
suppose four filenames are supplied then the ist should get copied into second file, the
third file should get copied into the fourth ie, and so on. If odd number of filenames are
supplied then no copying should take place and en error message should be displayed.
