CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 298

An engineer wants to automate several tasks by running commands daily on a UNIX server. The engineer has only built-in, default tools available. Which of the following should the engineer use to best assist with this effort? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Python
• B. Cron
• C. Ansible
• D. PowerShell
• E. Bash
• F. Task Scheduler

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E because Cron is a built-in tool for scheduling tasks in UNIX systems, while Bash is the standard shell used for command execution. The other options, such as Python, Ansible, PowerShell, and Task Scheduler, either require additional installations or are not native to UNIX, making them unsuitable for this specific requirement.
