The commands that can be used to terminate processes are kill and killall. The kill command can be used to send a signal to a process specified by its process ID (PID). The default signal is SIGTERM, which requests a graceful termination of the process. The killall command can be used to send a signal to one or more processes specified by their name. It will match all processes that belong to the current user unless otherwise specified.

Log file rotation is the process of compressing or deleting old log files to save disk space and improve performance. The /etc/logrotate.conf file controls the global settings for log file rotation, such as frequency, size limit, compression method, etc. The /etc/logrotate.d/ directory contains configuration files for specific log files that can override the global settings in /etc/logrotate.conf. The /usr/sbin/logrotate program is used to perform log file rotation according to the configuration files. It is usually invoked by a cron job in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate.

Assuming the default value for umask, which is 022, the permissions on new files would be set to 644 and the permissions on new directories would be set to 755. The umask value is subtracted from the base permissions of 666 for files and 777 for directories to determine the actual permissions. For example, 666 - 022 = 644 for files and 777 - 022 = 755 for directories. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-file-permissions.html#sec-file-permissions-umask

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/htm l_node/Bash-Startup-Files.html

When Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

The first file executed by a bash login shell is /etc/profile. This file sets global environment variables and aliases for all users. It may also source other files in /etc/profile.d/ directory. References:https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/cha-bash.html#sec-bash-startup

The file that provides local name resolution is /etc/hosts. This file contains mappings of hostnames to IP addresses for hosts on the local network or hosts that are frequently accessed. The system will consult this file before querying DNS servers when resolving hostnames. This can improve performance and security, as well as provide fallback in case DNS servers are unavailable.

The three permissions available on posix file systems are read, write, and execute. The read permission allows the user to view the contents of a file or directory. The write permission allows the user to modify or delete a file or directory. The execute permission allows the user to run a file as a program or change into a directory.

The command that you would run to create an updated initial file system, if your server hardware requires additional drivers to be available for the kernel at boot up, is mkinitrd. This command will create or update the initrd file in /boot based on the current kernel and configuration files. The initrd file is an initial ramdisk image that contains the necessary drivers and tools to mount the root file system and start the boot process.
