The file id_rsa.pub will be moved to the remote servers for passwordless login. The id_rsa.pub file is the public authentication key that is generated by the ssh-keygen command. The public key can be copied to the remote servers by using the ssh-copy-id command or manually. The remote servers will use the public key to authenticate the user who has the corresponding private key (id_rsa). This will allow the user to log in without entering a password. The other options are incorrect because they are either private keys (id_rsa, id_dsa.pem, or id_ecdsa) or non-existent files (id_dsa.pem or id_ecdsa). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 13: Managing Network Services, page 410.

The pkill -9 -f “upload*.sh” command will terminate all of the identified processes. This command will send a SIGKILL signal (-9) to all processes whose full command line matches the pattern “upload*.sh” (-f). This signal will force the processes to terminate immediately without giving them a chance to clean up or save their state. The kill -9 “upload*.sh” command is invalid, as kill requires a process ID (PID), not a pattern. The killall -9 “upload*.sh” command is incorrect, as killall requires an exact process name, not a pattern. The skill -9 “upload*.sh” command is incorrect, as skill requires a username or a session ID (SID), not a pattern. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 15: Managing Memory and Process Execution, page 470.
