    What are different parts of the UNIX system?

    • Kernels

    • Shell scripts

    • Kernel

    Correct Answer(s)

    Explanation
    The different parts of the UNIX system include tools & apps and the kernel. Tools & apps refer to the various software programs and applications that are used in the UNIX system, such as text editors, compilers, and utilities. The kernel, on the other hand, is the core component of the UNIX system that manages the system's resources, controls hardware devices, and provides essential services to the user and other software programs. Shell scripts, although mentioned in the options, are not considered as separate parts of the UNIX system but rather a type of scripting language used to interact with the system.

    To Decrease the /Var Filesystem:

    • Use defragfs and reducefs command

    • Backup, delete and recreate the FS to newsize

    • Use reducevg command

    Correct Answer
    A. Backup, delete and recreate the FS to newsize
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to backup, delete, and recreate the filesystem to a new size. This involves creating a backup of the filesystem's data, deleting the existing filesystem, and then recreating it with the desired smaller size. This method allows for a more efficient use of disk space by reducing the size of the filesystem to match the actual data it contains.

    The default entry for qdaemon in /etc/initab:

    • Qdaemon:2:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc –sqdaemon

    • Qdaemon:2:once:/usr/bin/startsrc –sqdaemon

    • Qdaemon:2:respawn:/usr/bin/startsrc –sqdaemon

    • Qdaemon:2:sysinit:/usr/bin/startsrc –sqdaemon

    Correct Answer
    A. Qdaemon:2:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc –sqdaemon
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "qdaemon:2:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc –sqdaemon" because this entry in the /etc/inittab file specifies that the qdaemon process should be started in the "wait" state. This means that the system will wait for the process to complete before moving on to the next entry in the file. The "/usr/bin/startsrc –sqdaemon" command is used to start the qdaemon process.
