A Linux administrator needs to ensure that a custom monitoring agent starts after the network is fully available on a systemd-based server. The agent is provided as a simple shell script that should run continuously. Which approach should the administrator use?

Create a cron job with @reboot to execute the script after every reboot.

Place the script in /etc/rc.local and make it executable, ensuring the rc-local service is enabled.

Add the script to /etc/init.d/ and run update-rc.d defaults to enable it.

Create a systemd service unit with After=network-online.target and Wants=network-online.target, then enable it with systemctl enable.

A system with UEFI firmware and Secure Boot enabled fails to boot after installing a third-party kernel module. The administrator needs to disable Secure Boot temporarily. Which action is appropriate?

Add 'secureboot=off' to the kernel command line in GRUB.

Delete the shimx64.efi file from the EFI system partition.

Use 'mokutil --disable-validation' from the running system.

Enter the UEFI firmware setup and disable Secure Boot, then reboot.

In a typical Linux boot process, what is the correct order of the following phases?

BIOS/UEFI → bootloader → kernel → init

Bootloader → BIOS/UEFI → kernel → init

Kernel → BIOS/UEFI → bootloader → init

BIOS/UEFI → init → bootloader → kernel
