You’ve won the business! Faster Computing has agreed to the project. As the final stage of pre-implementation, you have been asked to produce a training guide that will demonstrate how to install Linux and provide an overview of several common commands, as follows:

(11.1.3: Install the software.) 

• Use a hypervisor of your choice to install Linux. Many hypervisors are available, such as Oracle’s VirtualBox, which is a free download. In addition, as part of UMGC’s agreement with VMware, you can download VMware Workstation for free. See below for specific screenshot requirements. You should include at least 3 screenshots (e.g., disk partitioning, timezone selection, creating the default account). Each screenshot should be accompanied by a brief explanation of what you did.
  NOTE: It is not necessary to include screenshots of installing the hypervisor software.

(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)

• Demonstrate command-line operations that will provide the following information:
  • A listing of files in a directory and common file attributes
  • The current directory (hint: also known as the present working directory)
  • Create a file, then copy it to a different directory
  • Create a second file and move it to a different directory
  • Remove the first file, as well as the copy you created
  • The manual page for a given command
  • Create a text file, then use an editor to modify the content. Then display the content of the modified file

(1.4.2: Use vocabulary appropriate for the discipline, genre, and intended audience.)

In the above section (demonstrate CLI operations) show the commands with options/arguments (e.g., ls, cp, mv, rm) in your documentation as well as in your screenshots. 

(11.2.1: Configure technology according to stakeholder specifications and requirements.)

• Show running processes on the system. Demonstrate how to search for a specific process
• Forcibly stop a running process

In the above section (demonstrate CLI operations) show the commands with options/arguments (e.g., top, kill, -9, ps) in your documentation as well as in your screenshots. 

(13.1.1: Create documentation appropriate to the stakeholder.)

The deliverable for the final phase of the project is a written paper with screenshots. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the requirements must be met.  Use the Training Guide Template to record your work. This section will be graded upon the overall usefulness of the training guide to the organization.

(11.3.1: Add and update systems as required.) 

This portion of the training guide helps determine your submission is unique.

Important Requirement

On the final screenshot, you need to open a command line and type in the following commands (without the quotes):

“date”

“echo CMIT391”

“echo <your name here>” (Replace your name here with your name)

The recommended format is to provide screenshots incorporated within the written narrative. The screenshots must all be your own. Screenshots from external sources are not permitted. You must include the specific screenshot listed above or your project will not be accepted.

(1.1.4: Explain the relationship between the ideas presented to enhance clarity and comprehension.)

The training guide must have a cover page, an introduction, summary, and at least 3-5 references.

(1.2.2: Employ a format, style, and tone appropriate to the audience, context, and goal.)

Employ proper spelling and grammar. All Linux commands must be lower case.

(2.2.3: Explain the assumptions underlying viewpoints, solutions, or conclusions.)

In your conclusion of at least a paragraph, summarize why using Linux is beneficial for employees, management, and the organization as a whole.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

In this training guide, you will demonstrate how to install Linux and provide an overview of common commands for your client/customer. You’ll be combining your technical skills with effective communication techniques to provide learning resources for the client/customer.

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

• 1.1.4: Explain the relationship between the ideas presented to enhance clarity and comprehension.

Shell built-in commands, unlike legacy executables such as /bin/ls or /usr/bin/vim, are internal features of a shell that the user may invoke. For example, alias (to create a shortcut such as ‘l’ for ‘ls’), cd, history are among common built-in commands supported by most shells. When a user enters a command, a shell must first check if it is a built-in command in which case forking a child to load and run a legacy executable is not required. If the entered command is not built-in, then a shell assumes that it is a binary executable that needs to found and executed by a worker process. Extending built-in commands into a programming language, called shell scripts, is a popular way to manage and automate tasks on UNIX based operating systems such as Linux and MacOS.

Use the code of main4.c as a starting point to extend its capability to support the following built-in commands:

$ cprompt <x>

where <x> is 0, 1, 2 or 3. The notation <x> means that x is a variable. When <x> is 0, the default prompt ‘$’ is output. If <x> is 1, the prompt is changed to ‘>’. <x> equals to 2 changes the prompt to the PID of the process. Implement your own prompt for the case where <x> equals 3. Annotate your code to describe what option 3 outputs.

$ mem <s>

where <s> is a string that is stored in a memo note. Implement the memo note as a 1-D array of maximum size 10, char *memnote[10], where each element is a pointer to a string. Use malloc() to allocate just enough memory to store the string <s>. When memnote[] is full, cycle to the beginning and overwrite memnote[0] with the new string. Hence memnote[] is a circular array that overwrites the oldest element if space is full. Keep track of the newest and oldest memo note so that when the user enters the command ‘mem’ without a string <s> then the memo note strings are output by recency, with the newest first and the oldest last, by the order the user has added them to the memnote string array.

$ d <sec> <binexec>

The command d asks that the shell delay running the legacy executable <binexec> by <sec> seconds. Perform this task by calling library function sleep() with <sec> as argument. Look up section 3 of the man pages (run % man 3 sleep) to check how to use sleep() including any header files. First fork a child process who checks if a delay is needed by inspecting a variable, int delayflag, set by the parent. If 1, sleep() is called with argument <sec> followed by execlp() of <binexec>. Otherwise, execlp() is called without delay. In the case delayed execution is requested by the user, the parent does not call waitpid() to wait until the child terminates. Instead, it returns to the beginning of the while loop to print a fresh prompt since the delay could be substantial.

$ x

The command x without arguments means to terminate the shell. The shell prints a suitable message to stdout, then calls exit(0) to terminate.

Although main4.c serves as the main skeleton code, implement the built-in features supported by the shell, call it mysh, in a modular fashion making calls to functions that are put in their own file in a folder v12. Create a README text file that describes what each file in a folder v12 contains and its role. Use a Makefile to compile your code. 20 points out of 150 will be assigned for modularity, clarity, and style. Although not necessary, you may use string processing library functions. The library function atoi() which converts a number represented as a string (e.g., “3075”) into an integer (3075) may be useful. Look up its man page if you decide to use it. Test and verify that mysh works correctly. the code should run under Mac terminal.

Big Companies Are Embracing Analytics, But Most Still Don’t Have A Data-Driven CultureFor six consecutive years NewVantage Partners has conducted an annual survey on how executives in large corporations view data. This year, results show nearly every firm is investing in some form of analytics, and most are seeing value. But only one-third say they have succeeded in creating a data-driven culture. And many fear disruption by firms better equipped to use AI. Almost four in five respondents said they feared disruption or displacement from firms like those in the fintech sector or firms specializing in big data. The technology judged most disruptive is AI — by far. Seventy-two percent chose it as the disruptive technology with the most impact — far more than cloud computing (13%) or blockchain (7%).Discussion Questions1. How do executives in large corporations view data?
2. What has made big data and AI projects virtually indistinguishable?
3. Why does it take large established firms so long to shift to a data-driven culture?

The digital transformation of the workplace is an ongoing process for firms that are striving to stay relevant within today’s business environment. Moving towards a digital profile is to some extent inevitable, as information technology (IT) pervades all types of branches and sectors. The Internet of things (IoT) is a catch-all name for the growing number of electronics that aren’t traditional computing devices, but are connected to the Internet to send data, receive instructions or both (Fruhlinger, 2020). IoT encompass many different industries, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, construction, and consumer electronics. IoT devices include wireless sensors, software, actuators, and can be embedded in to industrial equipment,
environmental sensors, medical apparatus, and mobile phones (ARM, 2020). According to Statista, there were 22 Billion IoT devices in use in 2018 and that number is expected to increase to 50 billion in 2050 (Statista, 2020).Discussion Questions

While some disruptions are nearly impossible to prepare for and even more difficult to recover from, others can be addressed with a thorough disaster recovery plan. In almost all cases, disruptions of your IT infrastructure fall in the second category and can be fixed. The goal of a disaster recovery plan is to provide organizations with the means to address unplanned incidents as quickly as possible to minimize their operational, financial, and reputational impact.
