This question keeps coming up, and the answer is always the same (it's even in the FAQ): The wording of the question itself will leave you in no doubt as to what format the answer should be in. Rather expend effort on understanding Linux itself. If you know the command well and know what options to give the command to make it do a specific action, and if you can read English reasonably well, the correct way to answer the question will jump out of the screen (or from the paper) and bite you hard on the nose :-) You are going to have to trust us on this one, for obvious reasons we cannot give actual examples. One last thing: provide what the question asks for, nothing more and nothing less. Computer-based exams are marked by software, and software is not intelligent. Which tells you right away that complicated answers with large numbers of possible answers are not viable. The exam tests your knowledge of Linux, not your ability to infer what an examiner might mean while playing cute word games with exam topics ;-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com > > For example. > If you need to specify a few flags will all of these be accepted ? > -a -b -c > OR > -abc > OR > -b -a -c > > So basically, it doesn't matter what order the flags are in. > > > What if a flag has a long name too ? > For example the mdadm command can take these flags that mean the same thing > > -C or --create > > What if you include an extra flag that isn't required by the questions. > For example including "-v" to mean verbose ? > > Regards > Andy _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
