10 Interesting Linux Shell Scripts 'Interviews and Answers', Can Experienced Drivers 'Overturn'?

The vastness of Linux allows people to always present unique content every time. This content is not only beneficial for their career development but also allows them to increase their knowledge. Here, we try to do this, and let our readers judge how effective it can be.

Here, as a supplement to shell scripts, in this article we will answer questions related to Linux Shell from an interview perspective.

1. How to interrupt script execution before the shell script is successfully executed?

Answer: We need to use the exit command to achieve the scenario described above. exitWhen the command is forced to output a non-zero value, the script will report an error and exit. In a Unix shell script, a value of 0 indicates successful execution. Therefore, executing an unquoted exit -1 command before the end of the script will terminate the script.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello"
exit -1
echo "bye"

Save the file and execute.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello"
exit -1
echo "bye"

It can be clearly seen from the above script that the script executes well before the exit -1 command.

2. How to use Linux commands to remove file headers?

Answer: When we need to delete specified lines in a file, the sed command can be used to solve the problem.

This is the correct command to delete the file header (the first line of the file).

# sed '1 d' file.txt

Well, in fact, the -i switch built into the sed command can do this job, so there is no need for a redirection character.

# sed -i '1 d' file.txt

3. How do you check the length of a line in a text file?

Answer: sedThe command can also be used to find a certain line in a text file or check its length.

sed -n 'n p' file.txt can be solved, where n represents the line number, p prints out the matching content (to standard output) , this command is usually used with the -n command line option. So, how to get the length count? Obviously, we need to pipe the output to the wc command for calculation.

# sed –n 'n p' file.txt | wc –c

To get the length of the fifth line of the text file ‘linuxmi.txt’, run the following command:

# sed -n '5 p' linuxmi.txt | wc -c

4. Can all non-printing characters be viewed on a Linux system? how did you do it?

Answer: Yes. All non-printing characters can be viewed in Linux. To implement the solution mentioned above, we need the help of the vi editor. How to display non-printing characters in the vi editor?

Open the vi editor.

First press the [esc] key, and then press : Enter the command mode of the vi editor.

最后，从 vi 编辑器的命令界面输入set list命令并执行。

“

注: 这种方式可以查看文本文件中的所有非打印字符，包括 ctrl+m（^M）。

5. 假如你是一个员工组的团队领导，为xyz公司工作。公司要求你创建一个**dir_xyz目录，让该组成员都能在该目录下创建或访问文件，但是除了文件创建者之外的其他人不能删除文件，你会怎么做？**

解答：这真是个有趣的工作方案。好吧，上面所讲的方案，我们需要通过下面的步骤来实施，这简直就是小菜一碟。

# mkdir dir_xyz
# chmod g+wx dir_xyz
# chmod +t dir_xyz

第一行命令创建了一个目录（dir_xyz），上面的第二行命令让组（g）具有‘写’和‘执行’的权限，而上面的最后一行命令——权限位最后的‘+t’是‘粘滞位’，它用来替换‘x’，表明在这个目录中，文件只能被它们的拥有者、目录的拥有者或者是超级用户root删除。

6. 你能告诉我一个Linux进程经历的各个阶段吗？

解答：一个 Linux 进程在它的一生中，通常经历了四个主要阶段。

这里是Linux进程要经历的四个阶段。

• 等待：Linux进程等待资源。
• 运行：Linux进程当前正在执行中。
• 停止：Linux进程在成功执行后或收到杀死进程信号后停止。
• 僵尸：如果该进程已经结束，但仍然留在进程表中，被称为‘僵尸’。

7. Linux中**cut命令怎么用？**

解答：cut是一个很有用的 Linux 命令，当我们要截取文件的指定部分并打印到标准输出，当文本区域以及文件本身很大时，这个命令很有用。

例如，截取txt_linuxmi文件的前10列。

# cut -c1-10 txt_linuxmi

要截取该文件中的第二，第五和第七列。

# cut -d;-f2 -f5 -f7 txt_linuxmi

8. cmp和diff命令的区别是什么？

解答：cmp和diff命令用来获取相同的东西，但各有侧重。
diff命令输出为了使两个文件一样而应该做的修改。而‘cmp’命令则将两个文件逐字节对比，并报告第一个不匹配的项。

9. Can the **echo command be used to replace the ls command? **

Answer: Yes. The 'ls' command can be replaced with the 'echo' command. The ‘ls’ command lists the directory contents. From the perspective of replacing the above command, we can use ‘echo *’. The output of the two commands is exactly the same.

10. You may have heard of inode. Can you briefly describe the inode?

Answer: inode is a data structure used for file identification on Linux. Each file has a separate inode and a unique inode number on Unix systems.
