Linux CLI - Linux Basics and Terminal

AWrite a script that runs 'ls' then 'pwd' commands

BUse a shell script that runs 'nautilus .' then 'gnome-terminal --working-directory=.'

CCreate a script that opens only the terminal and type commands manually

DUse a GUI tool to drag and drop files instead of scripting

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify commands to open GUI and terminal
'nautilus .' opens file manager in current directory; 'gnome-terminal --working-directory=.' opens terminal there.
Step 2: Combine commands in a script
Running both commands sequentially automates opening both apps in same folder.
Final Answer:
Use a shell script that runs 'nautilus .' then 'gnome-terminal --working-directory=.' -> Option B
Quick Check:
Script GUI + terminal in same folder = nautilus + gnome-terminal [OK]

Quick Trick: Use --working-directory option to open terminal in specific folder [OK]
