CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 30

Which of the following is a Linux command that is used for administrative purposes?

Answer options

• A. runas
• B. cmcl
• C. net user
• D. su

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, 'su', which stands for 'substitute user' and allows a permitted user to run commands with the privileges of another user, often the root user. Options A, B, and C are not valid Linux commands for administrative purposes; 'runas' is a Windows command, 'cmcl' is not recognized, and 'net user' is also a Windows command for managing user accounts.
