...In this introduction, I provide any overview of the concepts regarding shell scripts. Explaining what is a shell script is and describing several common shells. Later, a tutorial is made available for demonstration how to backup a file or folder using a tool to accomplish these tasks. The SNTbackup is a shell script backup tool that gives users the option to select to select a file or folder to be backed up. A detail demonstration with screenshots is provided as a visual aid to readers. I used a simple Linux shell script to back-up the home directory of my system. The script uses the tar command to execute this task. SNTback is a simple, effective, fully customizable backup script that protects your folder by creating a duplicate of the specific folder. The duplicate of the selected folder is the place in a location of the user’s preference. Users will find the SNTbackup as a resource which allows folders such as directories to be back-up in no time....

...A ‘Unit of Measurement' is important, whether in math, science or in acting. Plays are divided into acts, scenes and units. In theatre, a unit is the smallest actable portion in a script. A unit is the building block of conflict, and conflict is essential in drama. Scoring a script helps actors to clarify motivations, organize dramatic structure, and get specific with the nuances of the characters and the story. If scene partners score a script together, it can help get everyone on the same page. It is a tool to help actors focus their performances. There are many ways to score a script. Most modern American acting courses use a method that breaks scripts into "beats and units" and describes a character's arc in terms of "objectives, tactics and...

...Five advantages: 1. C++ is well-suited for large projects because it has an object-oriented structure. People can collaborate on one program by breaking it up into parts and having a small group or even one individual work on each part. The object-oriented structure also allows code to be reused a lot, which can cut down development time. C++ is also a fairly efficient language - although many C programmers will disagree. 2. C is a popular language, especially in game programming, because it doesn't have the extra packaging of the object-oriented C++. Programmers use C because it makes programs slightly faster and smaller than programs written in C++. You might wonder, however, whether it's worth giving up the reusability of C++ to get the small increase in performance with C, especially when C++ can, where necessary, be written in a C programming style. 3. Pascal is primarily a teaching language. Few industrial programs are written in Pascal. Pascal tends to use keywords instead of C-style braces and symbols, so it is a bit easier for beginners to understand than languages like C++. Still, not everyone thinks Pascal is just for the schools. Borland, the huge compiler software company, has been pushing Delphi as an industrial strength programming language. Delphi is an object-oriented version of Pascal, and currently, only Borland compilers use it. 4. Java is a multi-platform language that is especially useful in networking. Of course, the most famous usage of Java is on...

...Version 1.0 General Certificate of Education (A-level) June 2011 ICT (Specification 2520) INFO1 Unit 1: Practical Problem Solving in the Digital World Final Mark Scheme Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all examiners participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the candidates’ responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each examiner analyses a number of candidates’ scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of candidates’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

Project Managers always undermine the impact the testing activity has on the Project Cost and Schedule. Hence the testing activity is usually unplanned and uncontrollable. As the project manager assumes that the main focus of the testing activity in the project is not to meet the project schedule. But Its is a reality that a thorough and close monitoring of the Testing project is required to increase productivity, reduce cycle -time and improve quality.

...Unit 5 Research Assignment 1 PT1420 * A shell script is a computer program designed to be run by the Unix shell, a command line interpreter. The various dialects of shell scripts are considered to be scripting languages. * Advantages of using shell script is that the commands and syntax are exactly the same as those directly entered at the command line. The programmer does not have to switch to a totally different syntax, as they would if the script were written in a different language, or if a compiled language was used. Often, writing a shell script is much quicker than writing the equivalent code in other programming languages. The many advantages include easy program or file selection, quick start, and interactive debugging. A shell script can be used to provide a sequencing and decision-making linkage around existing programs, and for moderately sized scripts the absence of a compilation step is an advantage. Interpretive running makes it easy to write debugging code into a script and re-run it to detect and fix bugs. Non-expert users can use scripting to tailor the behavior of programs, and shell scripting provides some limited scope for multiprocessing. * Most common usage methods of PowerShell is interactive console (powershell.exe) and script files (with extension of .ps1, that is also usually executed by powershell.exe). Main features of PowerShell are: .Net integration, object pipeline, easy access to many management domains (WMI, ADSI, COM, .NET etc...

Use tempDB -- Create a table called MyNewTable with three columns (rowID smallint, createdDate datetime, name varchar with a length of 30) [pic] -- Q2. Use tempDB -- Create a script that checks to see if MyNewTable Exists, drop it if it does. Recreate the query in Question 1 so that table does not allow an insert where the createdDate is less than the current datetime --- Insert a row into MyNewTable using the current datetime value--- If your Insert completed successfully something is wrong with your previous statements. If it failed? Explain why and how you might change the create table --- In order to fix the problem, assuming you always want to insert every row using the current date time value. Hint -- Search for -- "adding a second to a date field SQL" [pic] I believe using the smalldatetime option in order to use the ‘ss’ for the two digits to represent the ranging value from 00 to 59. Also using an alias for the table name in order for the query to proceed without errors. -- Q3.

...Mitchell Collier PT1420 Unit 5 Research Assignment 1 Mr. O’Leary Research Assignment All the shell I’m about to list share some common features, and the major difference in syntax generally only affect scripts writers. It is not unusual to use one shell for interactive use, but another for writing scripts. There are many other programs which read a file of commands and carry out a sequence of actions, the convention allows any of them to be used as a scripting language to create new commands. There is never only one way to perform a function, and often the choice comes down to factors like the combined lengthy and repetitive sequence of commands into a single, simple command. Generalize a sequence of operations on one set of data, into a procedure that can be applied to any similar set of data. Create new commands using combinations of utilities in ways the original authors never thought of simple shell scripts might be written as shell aliases. Create customized datasets on the fly and call applications to work on them or create customized application commands/procedures like wrapping programs over which you have no control inside an environment that you can control. You have to learn what kind what kind of problems are suited to shell scripts and review the most commonly used Unix commands that are useful in shell scripts. In general the newer shells run a little faster and scripts are often more readable because logic can be expressed more cleanly user...
