Questions from various UNIX operating systems e.g. Solaris, Linux, IBM
AIX or any other UNIX operating system is asked on different support and programming
interviews. I have always seen few interview questions from Linux and UNIX
along with SQL in almost every Java programming interviews. You just can not
afford not to prepare questions from UNIX and Linux until your Job absolutely
doesn't require any work in UNIX operating system. I have collected many UNIX
command interview questions and already shared them but I found that except
system admin jobs, many programming job interviews only focus on general UNIX
commands e.g. chmod,
find
or grep
and fundamentals like finding files and directories, managing file space, networking
commands, checking process status and managing file permissions. In this
article we will see such kind of frequently asked interview questions and
answers from UNIX and Linux operating System. Questions are very fundamental in
nature and not limited to Linux only and equally applicable to other UNIX
operating systems e.g. Solaris, IBM AIX etc. Many of these UNIX
questions are asked during various interviews on companies like TCS, Infosys,
Citibank , Wipro, Capegemini and Tech Mahindra. But as I said they are very
fundamental and can be asked in any company.
