A monitoring script needs to receive data from a process that writes to a named pipe. The script reads from the pipe. Which command creates the named pipe for this purpose?

ln -s /dev/null /tmp/monitor_pipe

A shared directory /data has the SGID bit set and permissions 2770. The administrator notices that new files created in this directory are owned by the group 'staff', but the administrator wants them to be owned by the group 'devs'. The directory is currently owned by group 'staff'. What should the administrator do?

Change the group of the directory to 'devs' with chgrp devs /data

Set the SUID bit with chmod u+s /data
