Homework 6 - Evan McGinnis
The ubuntu vm on my system does not contain traceroute, a network path debugging tool I need:
Traceroute shows me the hops between my system and the destination by manipulating the TTL in the IP header. This capture shows the IP addresses of the hops traversed and how far those hops are away to reach www.google.com.
The env command displays the set of environment variables for this shell instance. This is the subset containing the word PATH:
However, this is a system utility, not something built in to the bash shell. The alias command is built in to bash:
The find command searches the file system based on a match for various criteria. Here I have it search for a file called ‘hosts’. As portions of the file system require root access to access, I use sudo to run the command.
