Guided Practice Questions
After you have completed the procedure for the guided practice, provide your answers to the guided practice questions here.
Break down and explain the outpout of the shell ps | wc -l command.
The ‘ps | wc -l’ command is actually two separate commands connected by the pipe (‘|’). The ps command is used in the Linux OS to view running processes. The information provided with the ps command is process ID, the name of the controlling terminal for the process, the CPU time of the process (shown in minutes and seconds. Lastly the name of the command that was used to start the process. The pipe (‘|’) in Linux takes the output of one command and uses it as the input to another command. The ‘wc -l’ command is used to count the number of lines in the input that it is receiving. The ‘wc’ stands for word count, and the ‘-l’ option tells it to count lines.
Does it make sense to create a separate group for the local_action exercise, or would it be easier to use the IP address? Discuss.
It would be easier to (at least for me at this time) create different groups, especially when utilizing numerous IP addresses, because it would be faster to type in and there would be fewer errors in the address numbers.
What does the command ‘{{ local_processes_number.stdout }}’ generate?
The location where the system sends its output is called the standard output device ( stdout). The ordinary output is sent using the standard output (stdout). The standard output from the local processes
is produced by the given command.
What procedures and or policies would you enact to manage your inventory file?
I would enact groups in an inventory file, considering more complex situation. This would most likely be the case in real world scenario. Creating INI-like file with groups to me makes sense, also, at this time seems easier (although I do not have much experience).
