Question
You're writing a Bash script to automate the installation of software packages from a list stored in a file. Which command efficiently reads the list of package names from "packages.txt" and installs them?1.0 Marksapt-get install (cat packages.txt); do apt-get install pkg -y; done < packages.txt
Solution
The command that efficiently reads the list of package names from "packages.txt" and installs them is:
xargs -a packages.txt apt-get install -y
This command uses xargs to construct argument lists for the apt-get install -y command from the contents of the packages.txt file. The -a option tells xargs to use the file as its input. The -y option for apt-get install automatically answers yes to prompts and runs non-interactively, which is useful for scripts.
