Lab 2: August-5
Question:
A file contains a list of commands, one per each line, with variable number of arguments.
Write a C program to read each command and its arguments and execute them.
The program terminates when all the commands are completed.
E.g., Sample Commands in the file:
ls -al
wc prog.c (replace with your program name)
ping www.google.com
whoami
touch newfile.c
cp prog.c newfile.c
diff prog.c newfile.c
rm prog.c
gcc newfile.c -o newfile.out
To compile:
gcc Prgm-1.c -o prgm-1-out
To execute:
./prgm-1-out test-commands
Note: There should be a \n(newline, not literally) at the end of the file:
ls -al
ping
whoami
*\n*
for the program to work
