ITWS2 Assignment - 1 Shell Scripting

This document provides instructions for 5 Bash shell scripting assignments: 1. The average_files.sh script finds files larger than the average size in a directory by calling functions to calculate the average size and find matching files. 2. The num_sort.sh script sorts a list of command line arguments in ascending numerical order without using built-in sort functions. 3. The roman.sh script converts numbers to Roman numerals by taking a number as a command line argument. 4. The userlist.sh script lists all users on the system by parsing the /etc/passwd file with awk. 5. The time_ping.sh script pings google.com the number

ITWS2 Assignment -1

Shell Scripting
1. Write a Bash script, average_files.sh, to find all the files and
directories with size larger than or equal to the average file size of
the directory. Say, the directory /home/student has 6 files/directories
with size in parentheses " x(100) y (10) z (100) p (100) q(20) r(66),
your program average_files.sh /home/student" will list "x z p r" since
the size of each of the four files/directories is larger than the average
file size of 66(note that the average is rounded off) .

Use three functions: main, average, and find_files, where main


calls average and find_files, the average computes the average
file size of a directory and find_files looks out for files with size
greater than the average.

2. Write a Bash script, num_sort.sh, that can sort a list of command line
parameters in ascending order. There is no limit to the number of
arguments passed as list parameters. For example, your command
will look something like:
$ num_sort.sh 8 27 9 -2 7 92 -9 0 and type enter.
Your program will return: -9 -2 0 7 8 9 27 92

Use only basic commands and array. Do not use any built-in
commands that sort array.

3. Write a Bash script, roman.sh, to convert a number to Roman


number. The function takes the input number as a command line
argument. You can assume the range of the input to be 0-150,
however bonus points will be awarded for having larger range.
The command to run will look like:
$ roman.sh 77
Your program will return: LXXVIII

4. Write a Bash script, userlist.sh, to list all the users on the system.
The command to run will look like:
$ userlist.sh
Return:
USER #1 = root
USER #2 = bin
USER #3 = daemon
...
USER #33 = bozo
Hint: Use the contents of the file /etc/passwd and awk.

5. Write a shell script, time_ping.sh, to ping google.com n times only.


Also the output of ping should be timestamped. n will be given as a
command line argument. The output at each consecutive lines
should have a different color.

E.g.

Here you have pinged google 5 times as given in the command-line


argument and also each output line of ping has a timestamp with it. E.g
Fri Jan 22 00:32:39 IST 2016 in the first line.
