CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 Practice Question

A system administrator is creating a shell script that will automate the configuration of a new service on a Linux server. The script needs to append a multi-line configuration block to a file named /etc/service.conf. The administrator decides to use a here document within the script to achieve this. Which of the following snippets will correctly append the configuration block to the end of the file using a here document?

  • cat <<EOF >> /etc/service.conf
    Setting1=Value
    Setting2=Value
    EOF
    
  • cat <<EOF > /etc/service.conf
    Setting1=Value
    Setting2=Value
    EOF
    
  • echo <<EOF >> /etc/service.conf
    Setting1=Value
    Setting2=Value
    EOF
    
  • cat > /etc/service.conf <<EOF
    Setting1=Value
    Setting2=Value
    EOF
