Explanation
To unlock an account that has been locked due to login failures, the administrator can use the command pam_tally2 --user=dev2 --reset (D). This will reset the failure counter for the user "dev2" and allow the user to log in again. The other commands will not unlock the account, but either display or increase the failure count.

Explanation
The command source ~/.bashrc should be executed first to use the alias command. The source command reads and executes commands from a file in the current shell environment. The ~/.bashrc file is a configuration file that contains commands and aliases that are executed when a new bash shell is started. The administrator made some changes in the ~/.bashrc file and added an alias command, but the changes are not effective until the file is sourced or a new shell is started. The command source ~/.bashrc will reload the file and make the alias command available. The other options are incorrect because they either do not execute the commands in the file (read, touch, or echo) or do not affect the current shellenvironment (read or echo).

Explanation
The command that the administrator should run to ensure that both Java 7 and Java 8 are locally available for developers to use when deploying containers is docker image pull java:7. This command will use the docker image pull subcommand to download the java:7 image from Docker Hub, which is the default registry for Docker images. The java:7 image contains Java 7 installed on a Debian-based Linux system. The administrator can also specify a different registry by using the syntax registry/repository:tag.
The other options are not correct commands for ensuring that both Java 7 and Java 8 are locally available for developers to use when deploying containers. The docker image load java:7 command will load an image from a tar archive or STDIN, not from a registry. The docker image import java:7 command will create a new filesystem image from the contents of a tarball, not from a registry. The docker image build java:7 command will build an image from a Dockerfile, not from a registry.

Explanation
A long-running process is a program that takes a long time to complete or runs indefinitely on a Linux system.
A foreground process is a process that runs in the current terminal and receives input from the keyboard and output to the screen. A background process is a process that runs in the background and does not interact with the terminal. A background process can continue running even if the terminal is closed or disconnected.
To start a long-running process in the background, the user can append an ampersand (&) to the command, such as someapp &. This will run someapp in the background and return control to the terminal immediately.
To move a long-running process from the foreground to the background, the user can use two keystrokes:
Ctrl+Z and bg. The Ctrl+Z keystroke will suspend (pause) the foreground process and return control to the terminal. The bg keystroke will resume (continue) the suspended process in the background and detach it from the terminal. The statement B is correct.
The statements A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not perform the desired task. The bg keystroke alone will not work unless there is a suspended process to resume. The Ctrl+B keystroke will not suspend the foreground process, but rather move onecharacter backward in some applications. The jobs keystroke will list all processes associated with the current terminal. The bg & keystroke will cause an error because bg does not take any arguments.

Explanation
The nice -10 wget https://foo.com/installation.zip command will help to accomplish the task of downloading a ZIP file and setting the nice value to -10 for this new process. The nice command can be used to run a program with a modified scheduling priority, which affects how much CPU time the process receives. The nice value ranges from -20 (highest priority) to 19 (lowest priority), and the default value is 0. The -10 option specifies the nice value to be used for the wget command, which will download the ZIP file from the given URL. The nice -v -10 wget https://foo.com/installation.zip command is incorrect, as -v is not a valid option for nice. The renice -v -10 wget https://foo.com/installation.zip command is incorrect, as renice is used to change the priority of an existing process, not a new one. The renice -10 wget https://foo.com/installation.zip command is incorrect for the same reason as above.
