Are file permissions considered a bit mask?

a bit mask is the subtracted value that would allow you to obtain the actual file permission.

For example,

consider that a file permission of 777 gives everyone full permissions

You want the default file permission for all files created to be 755

You would then set your umask value to 022

Think about it in binary. File permissions consist of three 3-bit numbers, whose values can range from 000 (decimal 0) to 111(decimal 7)

111 111 111 (full permissions, or, 777)

-000 010 010 (subtract bit mask of 022)

-------------------

111 101 101 (actual file permissions 755)

your default bit mask on linux is set in either /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile. If you want to set it for a single person, you could do it in your .bashrc or .profile in your home directory.

How do I add time delay in a batch file?

You can use the TIMEOUT command, which paralyzes the batch file from running further commands until the timer runs out or if the user presses a key.

Here's an example:

@echo off

Commands here

TIMEOUT 10

Commands here

exit

The file will run whatever command you want it to run, then it will halt all running commands until 10 seconds passed, or if the user pressed a key before the timer runs out. Then, it will run any other commands you want to do after the delay, and then exit out.

How did process created and terminated?

CREATION OF PROCESS

There are four principal events that cause a process to be created:

  • System initialization.
  • Execution of process creation system call by running a process.
  • A user request to create a new process.
  • Initiation of a batch job.

When an operating system is booted, typically several processes are created. Some of these are foreground processes, that interacts with a (human) user and perform work for them. Other are background processes, which are not associated with particular users, but instead have some specific function.

PROCESS TERMINATION

There are many reasons for process termination:

  • Batch job issues halt instruction
  • User logs off
  • Process executes a service request to terminate
  • Error and fault conditions
  • Normal completion
  • Time limit exceeded
  • Memory unavailable
  • Bounds violation; for example: attempted access of (non-existent) 11th element of a 10-element array
  • Protection error; for example: attempted write to read-only file
  • Arithmetic error; for example: attempted division by zero
  • Time overrun; for example: process waited longer than a specified maximum for an event
  • I/O failure
  • Invalid instruction; for example: when a process tries to execute data (text)
  • Privileged instruction
  • Data misuse
  • Operating system intervention; for example: to resolve a deadlock
  • Parent terminates so child processes terminate (cascading termination)
  • Parent request

Do computer users have rights?

Depending on the circumstances, yes, computer users do have rights. There is supposed to be a certain amount of privacy, though that is under constant threat. People who create things on the computer have copyright protections. If you have problems online, you nearly always have the right to complain - though that might not always help.

In online forums and sites, users have what rights the sites give them. For instance, you have the right to use WikiAnswers for research and to contribute to the site in a reasonable manner. You are not allowed to use profanity, cyberbully others, post spam, or post anything that is not yours.

Is fault-tolerant system used to implement system backups?

Fault Tolerant refers to systems capable of uptimes of 99.999% or higher. RAID disks, multi-pathing, RAIN Networking are some technologies in use in fault tolerant systems that can continue operation during a failure.

System backups are NOT part of a fault tolerant plan per se but, are required in a fault tolerant system in case of a complete failure. System backups should always be kept outside of the fault tolerant environment.

What does computer savvy?
