ASSIGNMENT 1
OBJECTIVE: Study of hardware and software requirements of different operating system
(UNIX,LINUX,WINDOWS XP,WINDOWS7/8)
Explanation
Hardware requirements
The most common set of requirements defined by any operating system or software
application is the physical computer resources, also known as hardware, A hardware
requirements list is often accompanied by a hardware compatibility list (HCL), especially in
case of operating systems. An HCL lists tested, compatible, and sometimes incompatible
hardware devices for a particular operating system or application.

Software requirements
Software requirements deal with defining software resource requirements and prerequisites
that need to be installed on a computer to provide optimal functioning of an application.
These requirements or prerequisites are generally not included in the software installation
package and need to be installed separately before the software is installed.

ASSIGNMENT 2
OBJECTIVE: Execute various UNIX system calls for i. Process management ii. File
management iii. Input/output Systems calls.

Explanation
Some basic UNIX commands are as follows:
cd : Change directory or display current directory path.
cls : Clear the window.
dir : Display list of contents of current directory.
help : Display list of commands or help about a command.
notepad : Run the Windows Notepad text editor.
type : Displays the contents of a text file.

Some other useful commands are:

attrib : Displays or changes file attributes.

assoc : Displays or modifies file extension associations.
chkdsk : Checks a disk and displays a status report.
color : Sets the text and background colors.
comp : Compares the contents of two files or sets of files.
copy : Copies one or more files to another location.
date : Displays or sets the computer's date
del (or erase) : Deletes one or more files.
echo : Displays messages, or turns command echoing on/off.
exit : Closes the DOS window.
find : Searches for a text string in a file or files.
md (or mkdir) : Creates a directory.
more : Displays the contents of a file one screen at a time.
move : Moves one or more files from one directory to another directory.
rd (or rmdir) : Removes a directory.
ren (or rename) : Renames a file or files.
sort : Sorts input.
time : Displays or sets the computer's time.
tree : Graphically displays the directory structure of a drive or directory.
xcopy : Copies files and directory trees.

Part I. In this part basic DOS commands will be introduced.

1. Execute the two MS-DOS commands which will set the default to the root directory (\) on the d:
drive.
d:
cd \

2. Type date and time and then press ENTER. DOS will let you check and change the date and time. If
the correct date/time is displayed, simply press ENTER. If the date/time is incorrect, type the correct
date/time and press ENTER.

3. Type ver to display the Windows OS’s version number.

4. Use the dir command to list the contents of the root directory on the d: drive (i.e. d:\> dir).

5. Type “help [command]” to display help information on that command. (i.e. help dir)

Part II. In the steps below we will create a simple text file called hello.txt, make two directories,
mydir and mysubdir and copy hello.txt into the subdirectories. We will then delete the copies of
hello.txt and remove the directories under mydir.

1. Invoke the MS-DOS full screen text editor utility EDIT (if your OS does not support EDIT then use
notepad command i.e. notepad hello.txt) to create a text file called hello.txt:
d:\> notepad hello.txt
Enter the line “Hello World!” use File|Save and File|Exit to save your work and to quit EDIT.

2. Use the type command to display contents of hello.txt.

d:\> type hello.txt
You should see: Hello World!

3. Use the md command to create (make) a new directory called mydir. d:\> md mydir

4. Use the cd command to change the default directory to mydir. d:\> cd mydir

5. Use dir to display the contents of mydir. It should contain no files except for "pointers" to itself and
its parent.
d:\mydir> dir

6. Use the copy command to copy the file hello.txt in the root directory to mydir.
d:\mydir> copy d:\hello.txt

7. Use dir to display the contents of mydir. You should see hello.txt listed.
d:\mydir> dir

8. Use md to create (make) a subdirectory for mydir called mysubdir.

d:\mydir> md mysubdir

9. Use cd to change the default directory to mysubdir. d:\mydir> cd mysubdir

10.Copy hello.txt to mysubdir. Use the mydir directory copy of hello.txt. d:\mydir\mysubdir> copy
d:\mydir\hello.txt

11. Make a second copy of hello.txt but call it hello1.txt. d:\mydir\mysubdir> copy d:\hello.txt
hello1.txt

12. Use the ren (rename) command to rename hello.txt as hello2.txt. d:\mydir\mysubdir> rename
hello.txt hello2.txt
13.Check your work - display the contents of mydir. d:\mydir\mysubdir> tree \mydir

14.Check that the content of hello2.txt has not changed by displaying it.
d:\mydir\mysubdir> type hello2.txt

15. Using a wildcard delete all files with a .txt extension in mysubdir.
d:\mydir\mysubdir> del *.txt

16. Use the dir command to check that both files are gone. d:\mydir\mysubdir> dir

17.Return to the mydir directory. d:\mydir\mysubdir> cd \mydir

18. Use the dir command to view the contents of the mydir directory.
d:\mydir> dir

19. Use the rd command to remove the mysubdir directory.

d:\mydir> rd mysubdir

20. Use the dir command to check that the mysubdir subdirectory is gone. d:\mydir> dir

21.Return to the root directory. d:\mydir> cd
