Here are the steps you followed in the sample simulation:
-
You are currently logged in as user1 and are in your home directory.
Type ls -l
at the command line to view a listing of files in your home directory.
Using simulations are just like using a real UNIX command line. You must press the Enter key on your keyboard to continue.
-
If the simulation always told you exactly what command to type, it could get a little boring. In many simulations, you'll be given
directions on what to do next without being given the exact command. This is your chance to review what you've learned. Type in the
command you think should work. Your next task in this simulation is to create a new, empty file named newfile. Go ahead. If you don't
enter the correct command, you'll be given a hint. Don't forget to press the Enter key after typing your command.
Solution: touch newfile
-
Now, delete the file.
Solution: rm newfile
-
Confirm your deletion.
Solution: y
-
Notice that you can review each step of the simulation by using the Previous and Next buttons. This is the end of the simulation. Click
the Exit button to close the simulation window and continue with the course.
