#Q.3.Write script to print nos as 5,4,3,2,1 using while loop.#
Algo:
# 1) START: set value of i to 5 (since we want to start
from 5, if you
# want to start from other value put that value)
# 2) Start While Loop
# 3) Chechk, Is value of i is zero, If yes goto step 5
else
# continue with next step
# 4) print i, decement i by 1 (i.e. i=i-1 to goto zero)
and

Q.4. Write Script, using case statement to perform basic math

operation as
follows
+ addition
- subtraction
x multiplication
/ division
if test $# = 3
then
case $2 in
+) let z=$1+$3;;
-) let z=$1-$3;;
/) let z=$1/$3;;
x|X) let z=$1*$3;;
*) echo Warning - $2 invalied operator, only +,-,x,/
operator allowed
exit;;
esac
echo Answer is $z
else
echo "Usage - $0 value1 operator value2"
echo " Where, value1 and value2 are numeric
values"
echo " operator can be +,-,/,x (For
Multiplication)"

Q.5.Write Script to see current date, time, username, and

current directory
echo "Hello, $LOGNAME"
echo "Current date is `date`"
echo "User is `who i am`"

How to perform real number calculation in shell script and store
result to
third variable , lets say a=5.66, b=8.67, c=a+b?
a=5.66
b=8.67
c=`echo $a + $b | bc`
echo "$a + $b = $c"

Write script to determine whether given file exist or not, file

name is supplied as command line argument, also check for
sufficient number of command line argument

if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
echo "Usage - $0 file-name"
exit 1
fi

if [ -f $1 ]
then
echo "$1 file exist"
else
echo "Sorry, $1 file does not exist"
fi

Write script to print contains of file from given line number to

next given number of lines. For e.g. If we called this script as
Q13 and run as
$ Q13 5 5 myf , Here print contains of 'myf' file from line
number 5 to next 5 line of that file.

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$0:Error command arguments missing!"
echo "Usage: $0 start_line uptoline filename"
echo "Where start_line is line number from which you would
like to print file"
echo "uptoline is line number upto which would like to
print"
echo "For eg. $0 5 5 myfile"
echo "Here from myfile total 5 lines printed starting from
line no. 5 to"
echo "line no 10."
exit 1
fi

#
# Look for sufficent arg's
#

if [ $# -eq 3 ]; then
if [ -e $3 ]; then
tail +$1 $3 | head -n$2
else
echo "$0: Error opening file $3"
exit 2
fi
else
echo "Missing arguments!"

Q.15. Write script called sayHello, put this script into your
startup file called .bash_profile, the script should run as soon

Good Evening , according to system time.

temph=`date | cut -c12-13`

dat=`date +"%A %d in %B of %Y (%r)"`

if [ $temph -lt 12 ]
then
mess="Good Morning $LOGNAME, Have nice day!"
fi

if [ $temph -gt 12 -a $temph -le 16 ]

then
mess="Good Afternoon $LOGNAME"
fi

if [ $temph -gt 16 -a $temph -le 18 ]

then
