RHEL 8 RH124 Chapter 4.4 grading script inconsistency?

[Tracy_Baker]

The grading script for RHEL 8 RH124 Chapter 4.4 looks like this:

The lab works exclusively on workstation and changes nothing on that system (it simply does a few pinfo lookups).

Anyway, the script says that it is cleaning up servera -- this may confuse some new-to-Linux-people.

Hey @Tracy_Baker thanks for bringing that up. I created a ticket to mention that. We currently use those kind of entries in our grading script, even if they do not perform anything.

One of the main reason is that this "forces" the student to run the finish script to make sure that resources are cleaned (when needed).

I figured that was the case. And, in this case, it cleans up and "mess" that may have been left behind from another lab.

Correct. This helped us to be able to be confident before moving to the next section. As developer, we use those exit points to coordinate between different chapters in a book :)
