Unix Assignment

1. Write a bash shell script that emulates the basic functionality of the ls command for the present working directory. Specifically for each object in the directory your script must:

determine & display whether it is a directory, file, or other

determine & display the file owner's permissions for directories and files

utilize one or more Linux functions to minimize redundancy.

add error handling for SIGINT

hint - Use test commands for testing files within the loop (man test)

Example of the script output:

[jalcorn@blanca]$ ./quiz1 /home/jalcorn/hwfile is a file with owner permissions: rw- /home/jalcorn/hwscript is a file with owner permissions: rwx /home/jalcorn/testdir is a directory with owner permissions: r

2. Write a bash shell script using one or more functions to receive two words as input. Then count the number of characters per word and displays the word with the largest number of characters. If the words have the same amount of characters, then display all words of the same length.

Example of the script output:

[jalcorn@blanca]$ ./question5 one three

The longest word(s) is: three

[jalcorn@blanca]$ ./question5 one two

The longest word(s) is: one two

Save your script to /home/username/lab4/lab4.lab
