smbclient is a command-line tool that provides access to SMB/CIFS shares.

What is the smbclient command?

smbclient is a command-line tool that provides access to SMB/CIFS shares. smbclient is a samba client with an "ftp like" interface. It is a useful tool to test connectivity to a Windows share. It can be used to transfer files, or to look at share names. In addition, it has the ability to backup and restore files from a server to a client and visa versa.

Example:

#smbclient -L server1

The above command will list all shares on server1.

Some useful options are as follows:

Answer option C is incorrect. scp copies files between hosts on the Linux network.

Answer option A is incorrect. rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell or to/from a remote rsync daemon.

What is rsync?

In computing, rsync is a software application for Unix systems. It synchronizes files and directories from one location to another while minimizing data transfer using delta encoding. It can copy or display directory contents and copy files, optionally using compression and recursion.

In daemon mode, rsync listens to the default TCP port of 873, serving files in the native rsync protocol or via a remote shell such as RSH or SSH. In the latter case, the rsync client executable must be installed on both the local and remote hosts.

Answer option B is incorrect. mutt is a small but very powerful text based program for reading electronic mail under Linux operating systems.

The head -n 5 /etc/passwd command will show the first 5 lines of the file /etc/passwd.

In order to accomplish the task, you will have to kill the process and rerun it by using the nice command to lower the priority of the process.

You will have to run the following command: kill : nice -n 19

The nice command is used to run a process with the desired priority level. The priority level varies from 1 to 19. Level 1 is for the highest priority and level 19 is for the lowest. By default, every process runs with the priority level 10.

Answer option C is incorrect. The fg command is used to run a process in the foreground.

Answer option D is incorrect. The bg command is used to run a process in the background.

Answer option A is incorrect. The -n 1 switch will provide the process the top priority.

You can use the file command to display the file types of all the files in a directory at a time. In order to accomplish the task, you will have to issue the following command:

file *

What is the file command?

The file command is used to analyze the files specified in the argument.

Syntax:

file <file name1> [<file name2>] [<file name3>] ...

By providing the name of a file as an argument, the file command analyzes the file. The file command supports multiple arguments. The asterix (*) metacharacter can also be used with the file command.

Answer option C is incorrect. In Linux, the mount command is used to mount and display disks, partitions, and file systems. Mounting refers to the process in which the operating system prepares the media to be read.

Answer option A is incorrect. The File System Check (fsck) command is used to scan all disks and partitions, and it repairs them if required. The fsck command should be run only on an unmounted file system.

Answer option D is incorrect. The init command is used to switch a Linux computer to different run levels.

You will use find -name foobar.png command to do case-senstive search for files named foobar.png.

What is the find command?

The find command can perform a search based on a variety of search limitations. It searches through one or more directory tree(s) of a filesystem, locating files based on some user-specified criteria. By default, find returns all files in the current working directory. Further, find allows a user to specify an action to be taken on each matched file.

Thus, it is an extremely powerful command for applying actions to many files.

The find command can be used with a wild card (*), but it works best when we know the name of the file or directory we are looking for.

The find command can search your system for files that comply with certain numeric criteria, such as the size of the file (-size), the number of links to the file (-links), the date of the last change to the files data (-mtime), or the date of the last time the file was read (-atime). All these criteria accept a numeric value. When a numeric value is provided to find, it looks for an exact match, more than the number, or less than the number.

Answer option B is incorrect. The find -iname foobar.png command will do case-insensitive search for files named foobar.png.

Answer option C is incorrect. The grep-name foobar.png is an invalid command.

What is the grep command?

The grep command is used to search for a specific pattern of text in a file. It helps administrators in searching large amounts of text for a certain error message or name.

Answer option A is incorrect. The locate -name foobar.png is an invalid command.

What is the locate command?

The locate command is used to search for matching files in a database that is usually updated daily by a cron job. On the forthcoming Linux operating systems, this command is usually replaced by the slocate command, which stores permissions as well as paths and thus prevents users from prying into directories. One more advantage of the locate command is that it matches against any part of a pathname, not just the file itself.
