2.2. Preliminary Exercises

1. System administrators often write scripts to automate common tasks. Give
several instances where such scripts would be useful.
2. Write a script that upon invocation shows the time and date
(timedate.html#DATEREF), lists all logged-in users (system.html#WHOREF), and
gives the system uptime (system.html#UPTIMEREF). The script then saves this
information (io-redirection.html#IOREDIRREF) to a logle.
