Q1. (a) Write a shell script which will accept the PID of a process and display the details of that
process.

ANSWER:

 To create shell script file  vim process_details.sh use this command

 It opens the editor
 Press INSERT key in keyboard and you can type the below code

process_details.sh

# Script to display process details for a given PID

# Prompt user for PID

read -p "Enter the PID of the process: " PID

# Check if the PID is valid (numeric)

if ! [[ "$PID" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
echo "Error: PID must be a numeric value."
exit 1
fi

# Check if process with that PID exists

if ! ps -p $PID > /dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "No process found with PID $PID"
exit 1
fi

# Display process details

echo "Process details for PID: $PID"
echo "-------------------------------"
ps -p $PID -o pid,ppid,user,cmd,%cpu,%mem,etime

 :wq type and these function saves the file and quite the program
 Make it executable: chmod +x process_info.sh
 Run it: sh process_info.sh and you get the below output

Q2. (b) Install and configure TCP/IP settings in LINUX/UNIX operating system. Explain with step by
step procedure.

ANSWER:

Step 1: Check Your Network Interface Name

Open terminal and run:
ip addr
Look for your active interface (e.g., enp0s3, eth0, or similar).

Step 2: View Current TCP/IP Settings

nmcli device show <interface>

Example:
nmcli device show enp0s3
This shows current IP address, DNS, gateway, etc.

Step 3: Configure a Static IP Address

You can configure a static IP using either nmcli (command line) or by editing configuration files.
sudo nmcli connection modify enp0s3 ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.100/24
sudo nmcli connection modify enp0s3 ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1
sudo nmcli connection modify enp0s3 ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
sudo nmcli connection modify enp0s3 ipv4.method manual

Then apply the changes:

sudo nmcli connection down enp0s3 && sudo nmcli connection up enp0s3

Step 4: Verify Configuration

Check IP:
ip a

Check gateway and routing:

ip route

Check DNS:

ping google.com

Q3. (a) Create a user account in the LINUX/UNIX Server. Set its password and define its permission
like'an administrator.

ANSWER:

Step 1: Create a New User Account

Use the adduser command:
sudo adduser john

Replace john with your desired username.

Step 2: Set the User's Password

sudo passwd john
You'll be prompted to enter and confirm the password.

Step 3: Give the User Sudo (Admin) Privileges

Add the user to the wheel group:
sudo usermod -aG wheel john

Step 4: Verify Sudo Access (Optional)

Switch to the new user:
su - john

Try a sudo command:

sudo whoami

If correctly configured, it should return:

root

Step 5: Confirm Sudo Group is Enabled (Optional)

Make sure sudo is enabled for the wheel group in the sudoers file:
sudo visudo

Ensure the following line is uncommented:

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

Q3. (b) Configure a DNS Server as a Root Name Server in Windows 2000 Server. Explain with step by
step procedure.

ANSWER:

Step-by-Step Procedure

Step 1: Open the DNS Management Console

1. Click Start → Programs → Administrative Tools → DNS.
2. The DNS Manager opens.

Step 2: Create the Root Zone (".")
1. In the DNS console tree, right-click on the server name.
2. Click "New Zone..." to start the New Zone Wizard.
3. Click Next.
4. Select Primary zone and click Next.
5. Choose Store the zone in Active Directory (optional) or keep it as a file.
6. For the zone name, enter just a dot (.) — this represents the root zone.
7. Accept the default zone file name (e.g., . becomes ..dns).
8. Click Next, then Finish.

Step 3: Remove Root Hints

1. In the DNS console, right-click the server name → Properties.
2. Go to the Root Hints tab.
3. Select all root hints listed and click Remove.
4. Click OK.

This ensures the server doesn’t try to reach the actual internet root servers.

Step 4: Restart the DNS Service

To apply changes:
1. Open Services (Start → Run → type services.msc)
2. Locate DNS Server.
3. Right-click and choose Restart.

Step 5: Verify Root Server Functionality

 The server should now respond only with internal DNS responses.
 It won’t attempt to resolve external domains unless you add forwarders or zone delegations.

Q4. (a) In LINUX/UNIX system, access your account available at a remote machine. Download a file
from the remote location, modify that file and upload back to the remote machine.

ANSWER:

Step 1: Access the Remote Machine via SSH

Open terminal on your Fedora system:
ssh [email protected]

Step 2: Find and Download the File Using scp

Exit the remote session (if inside):
Exit

Now download a file from the remote system:

scp [email protected]:/home/user/document.txt .

This downloads document.txt to your current local directory.

Step 3: Modify the File Locally

Open the file using a text editor:
nano document.txt

Make your changes and save the file (Ctrl + O, Enter, then Ctrl + X for nano).

Step 4: Upload the Modified File Back to Remote Machine
scp document.txt [email protected]:/home/user/document.txt
This overwrites the file on the remote machine with your modified version.

Step 5: (Optional) Confirm Upload by SSH

ssh [email protected]
cat document.txt

Q4. (b) Configure TCP/IP setting in LINUX/UNIX. Assume IP address is 192.168.1.2 and Port is
446.Explain with step by step procedure.

ANSWER:

Step 1: Identify Network Interface Name

nmcli device status
Common names: enp0s3, eth0, etc.

Step 2: Assign Static IP Using nmcli

Assume interface name is enp0s3.
sudo nmcli con mod enp0s3 ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.2/24
sudo nmcli con mod enp0s3 ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1
sudo nmcli con mod enp0s3 ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
sudo nmcli con mod enp0s3 ipv4.method manual
sudo nmcli con up enp0s3

This assigns IP 192.168.1.2 to your interface.

Step 3: Bind a Service to Port 446 (Optional)

Example: Run a Simple HTTP Server on Port 446

1. Create a basic HTML file:
echo "Hello from port 446" > index.html
2. Start a Python web server on port 446:
sudo python3 -m http.server 446
Port numbers below 1024 require sudo. Port 446 is >1024, so it’s safe for most users.

Step 4: Open Port 446 in Firewall

sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=446/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 5: Verify Configuration

Check IP:
ip a

Check port is open and listening:

sudo ss -tuln | grep 446
