译者: 家庭作业, 就不译了.
Perform a recursive directory listing on the user's home directory and save the information to a file. Compress the file, have the script prompt the user to insert a floppy, then press ENTER. Finally, save the file to the floppy.
Convert the for loops in 例子 10-1 to while loops. Hint: store the data in an array and step through the array elements.
Having already done the "heavy lifting", now convert the loops in the example to until loops.
Write a script that reads each line of a target file, then writes the line back to stdout, but with an extra blank line following. This has the effect of double-spacing the file.
Include all necessary code to check whether the script gets the necessary command line argument (a filename), and whether the specified file exists.
When the script runs correctly, modify it to triple-space the target file.
Finally, write a script to remove all blank lines from the target file, single-spacing it.
Write a script that echoes itself to stdout, but backwards.
Given a list of filenames as input, this script queries each target file (parsing the output of the file command) for the type of compression used on it. Then the script automatically invokes the appropriate decompression command (gunzip, bunzip2, unzip, uncompress, or whatever). If a target file is not compressed, the script emits a warning message, but takes no other action on that particular file.
Generate a "unique" 6-digit hexadecimal identifier for your computer. Do not use the flawed hostid command. Hint: md5sum /etc/passwd, then select the first 6 digits of output.
Archive as a "tarball" (*.tar.gz file) all the files in your home directory tree (/home/your-name) that have been modified in the last 24 hours. Hint: use find.
Given a process ID (PID) as an argument, this script will check, at user-specified intervals, whether the given process is still running. You may use the ps and sleep commands.
Print (to stdout) all prime numbers between 60000 and 63000. The output should be nicely formatted in columns (hint: use printf).
One type of lottery involves picking five different numbers, in the range of 1 - 50. Write a script that generates five pseudorandom numbers in this range, with no duplicates. The script will give the option of echoing the numbers to stdout or saving them to a file, along with the date and time the particular number set was generated.
Write a script function that determines if an argument passed to it is an integer or a string. The function will return TRUE (0) if passed an integer, and FALSE (1) if passed a string.
Hint: What does the following expression return
when $1 is not an
integer?
expr $1 + 0
List, one at a time, all files larger than 100K in the /home/username directory tree. Give the user the option to delete or compress the file, then proceed to show the next one. Write to a logfile the names of all deleted files and the deletion times.
Inactive accounts on a network waste disk space and may become a security risk. Write an administrative script (to be invoked by root or the cron daemon) that checks for and deletes user accounts that have not been accessed within the last 90 days.
Write a script for a multi-user system that checks users' disk usage. If a user surpasses the preset limit (100 MB, for example) in her /home/username directory, then the script will automatically send her a warning e-mail.
The script will use the du and mail commands. As an option, it will allow setting and enforcing quotas using the quota and setquota commands.
For all logged in users, show their real names and the time and date of their last login.
Write, as a script, a "safe" delete command, srm.sh. Filenames passed as command-line arguments to this script are not deleted, but instead gzipped if not already compressed (use file to check), then moved to a /home/username/trash directory. At invocation, the script checks the "trash" directory for files older than 48 hours and deletes them.
What is the most efficient way to make change for $1.68, using only coins in common circulations (up to 25c)? It's 6 quarters, 1 dime, a nickel, and three cents.
Given any arbitrary command line input in dollars and cents ($*.??), calculate the change, using the minimum number of coins. If your home country is not the United States, you may use your local currency units instead. The script will need to parse the command line input, then change it to multiples of the smallest monetary unit (cents or whatever). Hint: look at 例子 23-8.
Solve a "quadratic" equation of the form Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0. Have a script take as arguments the coefficients, A, B, and C, and return the solutions to four decimal places.
Hint: pipe the coefficients to bc, using the well-known formula, x = ( -B +/- sqrt( B^2 - 4AC ) ) / 2A.
Find the sum of all five-digit numbers (in the range 10000 - 99999) containing exactly two out of the following set of digits: { 4, 5, 6 }. These may repeat within the same number, and if so, they count once for each occurrence.
Some examples of matching numbers are 42057, 74638, and 89515.
A "lucky number" is one whose individual digits add up to 7, in successive additions. For example, 62431 is a "lucky number" (6 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 16, 1 + 6 = 7). Find all the "lucky numbers" between 1000 and 10000.
Alphabetize (in ASCII order) an arbitrary string read from the command line.
Parse /etc/passwd, and output its contents in nice, easy-to-read tabular form.
Parse /var/log/messages to produce a nicely formatted file of user logins and login times. The script may need to run as root. (Hint: Search for the string "LOGIN.")
Certain database and spreadsheet packages use save-files with comma-separated values (CSVs). Other applications often need to parse these files.
Given a data file with comma-separated fields, of the form:
1 Jones,Bill,235 S. Williams St.,Denver,CO,80221,(303) 244-7989 2 Smith,Tom,404 Polk Ave.,Los Angeles,CA,90003,(213) 879-5612 3 ... |
Given ASCII text input either from stdin or a file, adjust the word spacing to right-justify each line to a user-specified line-width, then send the output to stdout.
Using the mail command, write a script that manages a simple mailing list. The script automatically e-mails the monthly company newsletter, read from a specified text file, and sends it to all the addresses on the mailing list, which the script reads from another specified file.
Generate pseudorandom 8-character passwords, using characters in the ranges [0-9], [A-Z], [a-z]. Each password must contain at least two digits.
Using lynx with the
-traversal option, write a script that
checks a Web site for broken links.
Write a script to check and validate passwords. The object is to flag "weak" or easily guessed password candidates.
A trial password will be input to the script as a command line parameter. To be considered acceptable, a password must meet the following minimum qualifications:
Minimum length of 8 characters
Must contain at least one numeric character
Must contain at least one of the following non-alphabetic characters: @, #, $, %, &, *, +, -, =
Optional:
Do a dictionary check on every sequence of at least four consecutive alphabetic characters in the password under test. This will eliminate passwords containing embedded "words" found in a standard dictionary.
Enable the script to check all the passwords on your system. These may or may not reside in /etc/passwd.
This exercise tests mastery of Regular Expressions.
Log all accesses to the files in /etc during the course of a single day. This information should include the filename, user name, and access time. If any alterations to the files take place, that should be flagged. Write this data as neatly formatted records in a logfile.
Write a script to continually monitor all running processes and to keep track of how many child processes each parent spawns. If a process spawns more than five children, then the script sends an e-mail to the system administrator (or root) with all relevant information, including the time, PID of the parent, PIDs of the children, etc. The script writes a report to a log file every ten minutes.
Strip all comments from a shell script whose name is specified on the command line. Note that the "#! line" must not be stripped out.
Convert a given text file to HTML. This non-interactive script automatically inserts all appropriate HTML tags into a file specified as an argument.
Strip all HTML tags from a specified HTML file, then reformat it into lines between 60 and 75 characters in length. Reset paragraph and block spacing, as appropriate, and convert HTML tables to their approximate text equivalent.
Convert an XML file to both HTML and text format.
Write a script that analyzes a spam e-mail by doing DNS lookups on the IP addresses in the headers to identify the relay hosts as well as the originating ISP. The script will forward the unaltered spam message to the responsible ISPs. Of course, it will be necessary to filter out your own ISP's IP address, so you don't end up complaining about yourself.
As necessary, use the appropriate network analysis commands.
For some ideas, see 例子 12-37 and 例子 A-28.
Optional: Write a script that searches through a batch of e-mail messages and deletes the spam according to specified filters.
Write a script that automates the process of creating man pages.
Given a text file which contains information to be formatted into a man page, the script will read the file, then invoke the appropriate groff commands to output the corresponding man page to stdout. The text file contains blocks of information under the standard man page headings, i.e., "NAME," "SYNOPSIS," "DESCRIPTION," etc.
See 例子 12-26.
Convert a text file to Morse code. Each character of the text file will be represented as a corresponding Morse code group of dots and dashes (underscores), separated by whitespace from the next. For example, "script" ===> "... _._. ._. .. .__. _".
Do a hex(adecimal) dump on a binary file specified as an argument. The output should be in neat tabular fields, with the first field showing the address, each of the next 8 fields a 4-byte hex number, and the final field the ASCII equivalent of the previous 8 fields.
Using 例子 26-14 as an inspiration, write a script that emulates a 64-bit shift register as an array. Implement functions to load the register, shift left, shift right, and rotate it. Finally, write a function that interprets the register contents as eight 8-bit ASCII characters.
Solve a 4 x 4 determinant.
Write a "word-find" puzzle generator, a script that hides 10 input words in a 10 x 10 matrix of random letters. The words may be hidden across, down, or diagonally.
Optional: Write a script that solves word-find puzzles. To keep this from becoming too difficult, the solution script will find only horizontal and vertical words. (Hint: Treat each row and column as a string, and search for substrings.)
Anagram 4-letter input. For example, the anagrams of word are: do or rod row word. You may use /usr/share/dict/linux.words as the reference list.
A "word ladder" is a sequence of words, with each successive word in the sequence differing from the previous one by a single letter.
For example, to "ladder" from mark to vase:
1 mark --> park --> part --> past --> vast --> vase |
Write a script that solves "word ladder" puzzles. Given a starting and an ending word, the script will list all intermediate steps in the "ladder". Note that all words in the sequence must be "legal."
The "fog index" of a passage of text estimates its reading difficulty, as a number corresponding roughly to a school grade level. For example, a passage with a fog index of 12 should be comprehensible to anyone with 12 years of schooling.
The Gunning version of the fog index uses the following algorithm.
Choose a section of the text at least 100 words in length.
Count the number of sentences (a portion of a sentence truncated by the boundary of the text section counts as one).
Find the average number of words per sentence.
AVE_WDS_SEN = TOTAL_WORDS / SENTENCES
Count the number of "difficult" words in the segment -- those containing at least 3 syllables. Divide this quantity by total words to get the proportion of difficult words.
PRO_DIFF_WORDS = LONG_WORDS / TOTAL_WORDS
The Gunning fog index is the sum of the above two quantities, multiplied by 0.4, then rounded to the nearest integer.
G_FOG_INDEX = int ( 0.4 * ( AVE_WDS_SEN + PRO_DIFF_WORDS ) )
Step 4 is by far the most difficult portion of the exercise. There exist various algorithms for estimating the syllable count of a word. A rule-of-thumb formula might consider the number of letters in a word and the vowel-consonant mix.
A strict interpretation of the Gunning fog index does not count compound words and proper nouns as "difficult" words, but this would enormously complicate the script.
The Eighteenth Century French mathematician de Buffon came up with a novel experiment. Repeatedly drop a needle of length "n" onto a wooden floor composed of long and narrow parallel boards. The cracks separating the equal-width floorboards are a fixed distance "d" apart. Keep track of the total drops and the number of times the needle intersects a crack on the floor. The ratio of these two quantities turns out to be a fractional multiple of PI.
In the spirit of 例子 12-45, write a script that runs a Monte Carlo simulation of Buffon's Needle. To simplify matters, set the needle length equal to the distance between the cracks, n = d.
Hint: there are actually two critical variables: the distance from the center of the needle to the crack nearest to it, and the angle of the needle to that crack. You may use bc to handle the calculations.
Implement the Playfair (Wheatstone) Cipher in a script.
The Playfair Cipher encrypts text by substitution of "digrams" (2-letter groupings). It is traditional to use a 5 x 5 letter scrambled-alphabet key square for the encryption and decryption.
1 C O D E S 2 A B F G H 3 I K L M N 4 P Q R T U 5 V W X Y Z 6 7 Each letter of the alphabet appears once, except "I" also represents 8 "J". The arbitrarily chosen key word, "CODES" comes first, then all 9 the rest of the alphabet, in order from left to right, skipping letters 10 already used. 11 12 To encrypt, separate the plaintext message into digrams (2-letter 13 groups). If a group has two identical letters, delete the second, and 14 form a new group. If there is a single letter left over at the end, 15 insert a "null" character, typically an "X." 16 17 THIS IS A TOP SECRET MESSAGE 18 19 TH IS IS AT OP SE CR ET ME SA GE 20 21 For each digram, there are three possibilities. 22 ---------------------------------------------- 23 1) Both letters will be on the same row of the key square 24 For each letter, substitute the one immediately to the right, in that 25 row. If necessary, wrap around left to the beginning of the row. 26 27 or 28 29 2) Both letters will be in the same column of the key square 30 For each letter, substitute the one immediately below it, in that 31 row. If necessary, wrap around to the top of the column. 32 33 or 34 35 3) Both letters will form the corners of a rectangle within the key 36 square. For each letter, substitute the one on the other corner the 37 rectangle which lies on the same row. 38 39 40 The "TH" digram falls under case #3. 41 G H 42 M N 43 T U (Rectangle with "T" and "H" at corners) 44 45 T --> U 46 H --> G 47 48 49 The "SE" digram falls under case #1. 50 C O D E S (Row containing "S" and "E") 51 52 S --> C (wraps around left to beginning of row) 53 E --> S 54 55 ========================================================================= 56 57 To decrypt encrypted text, reverse the above procedure under cases #1 58 and #2 (move in opposite direction for substitution). Under case #3, 59 just take the remaining two corners of the rectangle. 60 61 62 Helen Fouche Gaines' classic work, ELEMENTARY CRYPTANALYSIS (1939), gives a 63 fairly detailed rundown on the Playfair Cipher and its solution methods. |
This script will have three main sections
Generating the "key square", based on a user-input keyword.
Encrypting a "plaintext" message.
Decrypting encrypted text.
