[Tutor] Python for linux

[Patrick Thunstrom]

You're actually asking multiple subquestions here, let me start by
asking a clarifying question:

When you say "log in to the Linux machine" I assume you mean you need
to access a remote host? Your script will be running locally?

Next your other questions:

Checking permissions of a file: Look into the os module.

Checking for substrings: This is has many answers. Have you tried to
do this yet?
