A Linux administrator wants to obtain a list of files and subdirectories in the /etc directory that contain the word 'services'

A. B. C. D.A.
The correct shell script that will accomplish the task of finding files and subdirectories in the /etc directory that contain the word services and list them alphabetically in the /var/tmp/foundservices file is option D.
Here's a detailed explanation of why the other options are incorrect:
Option A: #/bin/bash find /etc "name services | sort > /var/tmp/foundservices This script has syntax errors. The find command is not correctly formatted. The -name parameter is missing, which is used to specify the name of the file or directory to search for. Also, the | character should be outside the quotes. The sort command should also be placed before the redirection operator >. The correct script should be:
bash#!/bin/bash find /etc -name "*services*" | sort > /var/tmp/foundservices Option B: #/bin/bash locate /etc "sort "name services > /var/tmp/foundservices This script is also incorrect. The locate command is not used to search for files and directories. It is used to search a pre-built database of files on the system. Also, the sort command is incorrectly placed before the | character. The correct script should be:
bash#!/bin/bash find /etc -name "*services*" | sort > /var/tmp/foundservices Option C: #/bin/bash find "name services "sort </var/tmp/foundservices This script has multiple syntax errors. The find command is not correctly formatted, and the sort command is also not correctly placed. The < operator should be outside the quotes. The correct script should be:
bash#!/bin/bash find /etc -name "*services*" | sort > /var/tmp/foundservices Option D: #/bin/bash find /etc "name services "sort > /var/tmp/foundservices. This script is correct. The find command is used to search for files and directories in the /etc directory that contain the word services. The -name parameter is correctly used to specify the name of the file or directory to search for. The sort command is also correctly placed after the | character and before the redirection operator >. The correct script is:
bash#!/bin/bash find /etc -name "*services*" | sort > /var/tmp/foundservices In summary, the correct script to accomplish the task is:
bash#!/bin/bash find /etc -name "*services*" | sort > /var/tmp/foundservices
