Exam XK0-004 topic 1 question 116 discussion

Wrong. First, the question does not ask for files with "log" in the name (it doesn't even ask for log files - it says "related files"). Second, some of the files in /var/log do not have log or .log anywhere in the filename (e.g. messages, secure, spooler, etc.) and would be missed using your syntax. Third, I seriously doubt you tested it if your first line is incorrect... It's #!/bin/bash Your version will (likely) create an empty tempfile and compress nothing. And, yes, I've tested your solution (and mine). The correct answer is: #!/bin/bash #name: script.sh find /var/log -type f -maxdepth 1 | grep "$1" > /tmp/tempfile for filename in $(cat /tmp/tempfile) do gzip $filename done

It says in the question that " Add relevant content to /tmp/script.sh, so that it finds and compresses rotated files in /var/log without recursion" , there are a variety of different logs under the directory /var/log, not all the log start with log.*, using a positional parameter better match "Add relevent content to the /tmp/script.sh", I think

grep "$1" will search all the file named with the positional parameter and put the file name in to tempfile
