Write a shell script to stimulate the file commands: rm, cp, cat, mv, cmp, wc, split, diff.

#!/bin/bash

# Function to simulate the rm command

simulate_rm() {

read -p "Enter the file name to remove: " file

if [ -f "$file" ]; then

rm "$file"

echo "File '$file' removed."

else

echo "File '$file' not found."

fi

# Function to simulate the cp command

simulate_cp() {

read -p "Enter the source file name: " source

read -p "Enter the destination file name: " destination

if [ -f "$source" ]; then

cp "$source" "$destination"

echo "File copied from '$source' to '$destination'."

else

echo "Source file '$source' not found."

fi

# Function to simulate the cat command

simulate_cat() {

read -p "Enter the file name to display: " file

if [ -f "$file" ]; then

cat "$file"

else
 echo "File '$file' not found."

fi

# Function to simulate the mv command

simulate_mv() {

read -p "Enter the source file name: " source

read -p "Enter the destination file name: " destination

if [ -f "$source" ]; then

mv "$source" "$destination"

echo "File moved/renamed from '$source' to '$destination'."

else

echo "Source file '$source' not found."

fi

# Function to simulate the cmp command

simulate_cmp() {

read -p "Enter the first file name: " file1

read -p "Enter the second file name: " file2

if [ -f "$file1" ] && [ -f "$file2" ]; then

cmp "$file1" "$file2"

else

echo "One or both files not found."

fi

# Function to simulate the wc command

simulate_wc() {

read -p "Enter the file name to count words, lines, and characters: " file

if [ -f "$file" ]; then

wc "$file"
 else

echo "File '$file' not found."

fi

# Function to simulate the split command

simulate_split() {

read -p "Enter the file name to split: " file

read -p "Enter the number of lines per split: " lines

if [ -f "$file" ]; then

split -l "$lines" "$file"

echo "File '$file' split into parts with $lines lines each."

else

echo "File '$file' not found."

fi

# Function to simulate the diff command

simulate_diff() {

read -p "Enter the first file name: " file1

read -p "Enter the second file name: " file2

if [ -f "$file1" ] && [ -f "$file2" ]; then

diff "$file1" "$file2"

else

echo "One or both files not found."

fi

echo "7. split (Split a file into smaller parts)"

echo "8. diff (Compare the differences between two files)"

echo "9. Exit"

# Read user's choice

read -p "Enter your choice [1-9]: " choice

# Execute the appropriate function based on the user's choice

Explanation:

1. Functions:

o Each function simulates a basic file operation command:

 simulate_rm(): Simulates the rm command.

 simulate_cp(): Simulates the cp command.

 simulate_cat(): Simulates the cat command.

 simulate_mv(): Simulates the mv command.

 simulate_cmp(): Simulates the cmp command.

 simulate_wc(): Simulates the wc command.

 simulate_split(): Simulates the split command.

 simulate_diff(): Simulates the diff command.

2. Menu:

o The script presents a menu with options corresponding to each of the simulated commands.

3. User Input:

o The script reads the user's choice and calls the corresponding function.

4. Exit Option:

o The user can choose to exit the script by selecting option 9.

Usage:

 Save the script to a file, e.g., simulate_file_commands.sh.

  Make it executable: chmod +x simulate_file_commands.sh.

 Run the script: ./simulate_file_commands.sh.

The script will display a menu, allowing you to simulate the selected file operations.

#!/bin/bash

# Display currently logged user and his log name

echo "Currently logged user and log name:"

whoami

echo

# Display current shell, home directory, OS type, current Path setting, and current working directory

echo "Current shell: $SHELL"

echo "Home directory: $HOME"

echo "Operating System type: $(uname -s)"

echo "Current Path setting: $PATH"

echo "Current working directory: $(pwd)"

echo

# Show currently logged number of users

echo "Currently logged number of users:"

who | wc -l

echo

# Show all available shells

echo "Available shells:"

cat /etc/shells

echo

# Show CPU information (processor type and speed)

echo "CPU information:"

lscpu | grep 'Model name\|CPU MHz'

echo

# Show memory information

echo "Memory information:"

free -h

 whoami prints the currently logged-in user.

 $SHELL, $HOME, uname -s, $PATH, and pwd are used to display the respective details.

 who | wc -l counts the number of currently logged-in users.

 cat /etc/shells lists all available shells.

 lscpu provides CPU information, with grep used to filter relevant details.

 free -h shows memory usage in a human-readable format.

shell script that allows the user to choose between displaying the current date, user name, file listing, or directories:

#!/bin/bash

# Function to display the current date

display_date() {

echo "Current Date and Time: $(date)"

# Function to display the current user name

display_user() {

echo "User Name: $(whoami)"

# Function to list files in the current directory

list_files() {

echo "Files in the current directory:"

ls -p | grep -v / # Lists files only, excluding directories

}
# Function to list directories in the current directory

list_directories() {

echo "Directories in the current directory:"

ls -d */ # Lists directories only

# Display menu and get user's choice

echo "Please select an option:"

echo "1. Display Current Date"

echo "2. Display User Name"

echo "3. List Files in Current Directory"

echo "4. List Directories in Current Directory"

echo "5. Exit"

# Read user's choice

read -p "Enter your choice [1-5]: " choice

# Execute the appropriate function based on the user's choice

case $choice in

1)

display_date

;;

2)

display_user

;;

3)

list_files

;;

4)

list_directories

;;
 5)

echo "Exiting..."

exit 0

;;

*)

echo "Invalid choice. Please run the script again and select a valid option."

;;

How the Script Works:

1. Function Definitions:

o display_date(): Prints the current date and time.

o display_user(): Prints the current logged-in user's name.

o list_files(): Lists all files in the current directory (excluding directories).

o list_directories(): Lists all directories in the current directory (excluding files).

2. Menu:

o The script presents a menu with options for the user to choose from.

3. User Choice:

o The script reads the user's choice and uses a case statement to execute the corresponding function.

o If the user selects an invalid option, the script notifies them and exits.

4. Exit Option:

o The user can choose to exit the script by selecting option 5.

Usage:

 Save the script to a file, e.g., menu_script.sh.

 Make it executable: chmod +x menu_script.sh.

 Run the script: ./menu_script.sh.

The script will display a menu, and based on the user's choice, it will perform the corresponding action.

5. Write a Shell script for displaying current date, user name, file listing and directories by getting user choice.
#!/bin/bash

# Function to display the current date

show_date() {
echo "Current date and time: $(date)"
}
# Function to display the user name
show_user() {
echo "Current user: $(whoami)"
}

# Function to list files in the current directory

list_files() {
echo "Listing files in the current directory:"
ls -p | grep -v /
}

# Function to list directories in the current directory

list_directories() {
echo "Listing directories in the current directory:"
ls -p | grep /
}

# Main script starts here

echo "Please choose an option:"
echo "1. Display current date and time"
echo "2. Display user name"
echo "3. List files"
echo "4. List directories"
echo "5. Exit"

# Read user choice

read -p "Enter your choice (1-5): " choice

case $choice in
1)
echo "Current date and time: $(date)"
;;
2)
echo "Current user: $(whoami)"
;;
3)
echo "Listing files in the current directory:"
ls -p | grep -v
;;
4)
echo "Listing directories in the current directory:"
ls -p | grep /
;;
5)
echo "Exiting..."
exit 0
;;
*)
 echo "Invalid choice. Please enter a number between 1 and 5."
