Assignment 2.

B
1.​ Write a script to calculate word frequency for all text files in a directory.
2.​ Write a script to find the longest word in a file and its length.
3.​ Write a script to merge two sorted files into a single sorted file without using sort.
4.​ Write a script to find all palindromic words in a file and count their occurrences.
5.​ Write a script to find all anagrams of a word from a file.
6.​ Write a script to find the top N processes consuming the most CPU and calculate their
total CPU usage.
7.​ Write a shell script to:
a.​ Recursively list all files and directories starting from the current directory.
b.​ Display each file/directory along with its permissions, size, and last modified date.
c.​ Count the total number of files and directories separately.
d.​ Identify the largest file (based on size) and display its name, size, and
permissions.
e.​ Save the detailed output to a log file and display the summary (counts and largest
file) on the terminal.
8.​ Write a shell script to calculate and display the size of directories up to a given depth.
The script should:
a.​ Accept the base directory and depth as input from the user.
b.​ Exclude specific directories (provided as a list of directory names or patterns by
the user).
c.​ Include an option to display the sizes in human-readable format (e.g., KB, MB,
GB).
d.​ Create a detailed log file with directory names, their sizes, and depth levels.
e.​ Optionally sort the output by directory size in ascending or descending order
based on user input.
f.​ Handle symbolic links gracefully, avoiding infinite loops caused by circular links.
9.​ Write a shell script to recursively apply specific permissions to all files, directories, and
symbolic links starting from a base directory. The script should:
a.​ Allow the user to specify separate permissions for files, directories, and symbolic
links.
b.​ Skip hidden files and directories unless explicitly enabled by a command-line flag.
c.​ Generate a log file detailing all changes made, including the old and new
permissions for each file/directory.
d.​ Support dry-run mode to display what changes would be made without actually
modifying any permissions.
10.​Write a shell script to monitor system resources and alert administrators when any
partition exceeds a given disk usage threshold percentage (e.g., 80%) and also the total
memory used by processes owned by a specific user exceeds a specified limit (e.g., 500
MB). The script should:
a.​ Accept thresholds for both disk usage and memory usage as inputs.
b.​ Display the disk partitions exceeding the threshold, along with their current
usage.
c.​ Identify the user processes contributing to the memory usage and display their
details (e.g., PID, memory used).
d.​ Log the results to a file with timestamps.
