## 📋 Complete Lab Plan
| Sr. No. | Lab Number | Experiments |
|---------|------------|-------------|
| 1 | 1-2 | Use the touch command to create sets of empty practice files. Create six files with names of the form `songX.mp3`, `snapX.jpg`, `filmX.avi`. Create three subdirectories: `friends`, `family`, and `work` using a single command. |
| 2 | 3-4 | View the `gedit` man page. Use `man -k ext4` to find the command to tune ext4 file-system parameters. Use brace expansion and wildcards for file matching. Explore `cat`, `less`, and `more` commands. |
| 3 | 5-6 | Use `vim` and `nano` to edit files. Use the `lab_file` shell variable. Enter visual mode in Vim, remove the last seven characters of the first column, and preserve only the first four characters. |
| 4 | 7-8 | Create the `/home/consultants` directory. Add write permission to the `consultants` group using symbolic method. Forbid access to others. Change the `umask` for `operator1` user to prohibit all access for non-group users. |
| 5 | 9-10 | Implement `ps`, `top`, and `kill` commands with their options. Install, update, and remove software using `apt-get`. |
| 6 | 11-12 | Create the `operator1` user and set the password. Add `operator2` and `operator3` users with passwords. Use `usermod -c` to update comments for `operator1`. Remove `operator3` from the system. |
| 7 | 13-14 | Use `chown` and `chmod` commands with their options to modify ownership and permissions. |
| 8 | 15-16 | Write shell scripts to print system information and perform basic mathematical calculations. Use redirection operators to store command outputs. |
| 9 | 17-18 | Implement `fdisk`, `parted`, `df`, and `du` commands with their options for disk management. |
| 10 | 19-20 | Use `rsync`, `tar`, and compression commands to efficiently store and transfer files. |
| 11 | 21-22 | Configure system networking using `netplan` and `nmcli`. Set up and configure the system firewall. |
| 12 | 23-24 | Use `top`, `htop`, `iostat`, and `vmstat` to monitor system performance. Tune the system using `sysctl` and `tuned`. Perform log management and analysis using `syslog` and `journalctl`. |
| 13 | 25-26 | Execute `ssh` commands to securely access remote computers. |
| 14 | 27-28 | Run shell scripts to create functions and perform advanced string manipulations. Use `cron` and `at` commands to schedule future tasks. |
| 15 | 29-30 | Create and manage containers to create virtual machines on the system. |
