Basic 6
Hello all,
I'm having trouble with this. Whilst not an expert with Unix I do know some basic shell commands and even after reading some of the articles I still don't get it.
If I were sat in front of a BASH shell, I would first do "ls" and navigate to find the logs.txt file. I would then use chmod a+x to change the file permissions. Then I would rm it. However, I don't understand this challenge because it seems as though you need to enter three commands to complete it and then press the submit button so how do you find the files you need to rm? I looked at the html source but can't find any hints there. I hope it's not a case of randomly entering directory paths…
ok the answers to ur questions are
- Am I restricted to just the chmod and rm commands?: that is how u beat the challenge
- Do I need to enter text in all three boxes before I hit the submit button? :yes you do and dont forget to put $ and a space before the commands
And…
- If so, how do I find out the name/location of the other file I need to delete? :think about where the logs would be stored
hope that helps if u need more help pm me
I have just beat this task.
To anybody reading this topic looking for answers: I neglected to do a really very obvious thing and was banging my head against a brick wall in the process. Use ALL the tools at your disposal is all I can say and remember to use some of the techniques from previous challenges as well :D
