SILVER OAK UNIVERSITY

College of Technology (01)

Bachelor of Technology in (CE/IT/CE-CC/CE-MLAI/CSE-CS) Engineering
Subject Name: Operating System
Subject Code: 1010043218
Semester: 4th

Prerequisite: Data structures( stack, queue, linked list, tree, graph), hashing, File structures, Any
structured Programming Language (like C),

Objective: As a core subject of Computer Engineering/Information Technology, this course enables

to understand the importance of Operating System, its functionalities to manage resources of
Computer and Peripherals, program development and its execution. Students will be made aware of
Process Management, Memory Management, File Management and I/O Management in detail, which
will be useful to them for Large Application Development in the engineering field with emphasis
given to the Linux type of Open Source Operating System Administration.

Teaching & Learning Methodology:

● The course includes a laboratory, where students have an opportunity to learn

about the open source operating system and implement the concepts being
taught in lectures.
● Lectures with live practical examples using Projector and Computer.
● Experiments shall be performed in the laboratory related to course contents

List of Experiments/Tutorials:
1. Study the basic and advanced commands of Linux/UNIX such as ls, touch, mkdir, rm,
cp, mv, rmdir, man, cd, history, pwd, clear, head, tail, cat, wc, date, timedatectl, su,
sudo, chage, etc.
2. Write a menu driven shell script which will print the following menu and execute
the given task using switch case.
a. Display calendar of current month
b. Display today’s date and time
c. Display usernames those are currently logged in the system
d. Display your name at given x, y position
e. Display your terminal number
3. Write a shell script programming for generating palindrome numbers.
4. Write a shell script to generate a factorial of given number n.
5. Shell script programming using filters (including grep, egrep, fgrep, pgrep)
6. Execute the given command.
a. useradd
b. usedmod
c. userdel
d. passwd
 e. groupadd
f. groupmod
g. groupdel
7. Explore chmod, umask, chown and top commands with options.
8. Explore ps aux, sleep, jobs, fg, bg, systemctl, chronyd and tar commands with options.
9. Configure rsyslog on serverX to log all messages with severity debug the newly created
log file/var/log/ messages - debug add ingther syslog configuration file
/etc/rsyslog.d/debug.conf. Verify that the generated debug log message with the logger
