First Mission: Prepare a Handoff

EasyLinux Fundamentals10-15 min

The brief

Prepare a small handoff for a teammate using the tools you have practised.

1. Create /root/handoff and an empty archive directory inside it.

2. Copy /root/incoming/note.txt to /root/handoff/note.txt. Both copies must keep their original contents.

3. Make /root/incoming/confirm.sh executable by its owner, without granting group or other write access. Keep the script intact.

4. Run the script. It creates /root/handoff/receipt.txt.

Inspect the files first, work through the tasks, then Verify & grade. All hints are free. Use any correct commands: the checks inspect the resulting files and permissions.

What you'll do

Create the handoff folder and empty archive
Copy the note intact while preserving its source
Safely enable the supplied script and produce its receipt

Hands-on lab: you work on a real Linux box in your browser, graded on the machine's actual state.
