Introduction to UNIX Introduction to UNIX Thierry Toutain (RCS April 2016) Command line - Terminal -Shell “Command-line interfaces are often preferred by more advanced computer users, as they often provide a more concise and powerful means to control a program or operating system.” Wikipedia ● Text-based interface with a command interpreter (shell, bash) in which you can type and execute commands to create/manage your data (files). ● Many pre-exisiting unix commands understood by bash. ● Build your own commands (scripts) tailored for your needs (next talk by Sabry) First commands and shortcuts ● hostname (try Hostname letter case matters!) ● whoami ● who (who is logged in) ● top (and top users) ● compgen -c (display all the commands available) ● whatis hostname ● man hostname (man on-line manual pages, navigate with Page Up/Down, quit with 'q') ● hostname abel ● Use up/down arrows to browse typed commands ● history (try also Crtl+r) ● !wh (! execute last command starting with the given string) ● h+Tab (autocompletion) ● Crtl+c interrupts current command (try sleep 30) ● Crtl+l clears the window ● Ctrl+a (go to start of line) ● Ctrl+e (go to end of line) ● ...

The shell is the wrapper around the system: a communication means between the user and the system The shell is the manner in which the user can interact with the system through the terminal. The shell is also a script interpreter. The simplest script is a bunch of shell commands. Shell scripts are used in order to boot the system. The user can also write and execute shell scripts. Shell – p. 3/55 Shell - which shell? There are several kinds of shells. For example, bash (Bourne Again Shell), csh, tcsh, zsh, ksh (Korn Shell). The most important shell is bash, since it is available on almost every free Unix system. The Linux system scripts use bash. The default shell for the user is set in the /etc/passwd file. Here is a line out of this file for example: dana:x:500:500:Dana,,,:/home/dana:/bin/bash This line means that user dana uses bash (located on the system at /bin/bash) as her default shell. Shell – p. 4/55 Starting to work in another shell If Dana wishes to temporarily use another shell, she can simply call this shell from the command line: [dana@granada ˜]$ bash dana@granada:˜$ #In bash now dana@granada:˜$ exit [dana@granada ˜]$ bash dana@granada:˜$ #In bash now, going to hit ctrl D dana@granada:˜$ exit [dana@granada ˜]$ #In original shell now Shell – p.

  • ANSWERS ΤΟ EVEN-Numbered
    8 Answers to Even-numbered Exercises 2.1. WhatExplain the following unexpected are result: two ways you can execute a shell script when you do not have execute permission for the file containing the script? Can you execute a shell script if you do not have read permission for the file containing the script? You can give the name of the file containing the script as an argument to the shell (for example, bash scriptfile or tcsh scriptfile, where scriptfile is the name of the file containing the script). Under bash you can give the following command: $ . scriptfile Under both bash and tcsh you can use this command: $ source scriptfile Because the shell must read the commands from the file containing a shell script before it can execute the commands, you must have read permission for the file to execute a shell script. 4.3. AssumeWhat is the purpose ble? you have made the following assignment: $ person=zach Give the output of each of the following commands. a. echo $person zach b. echo '$person' $person c. echo "$person" zach 1 2 6.5. Assumengs. the /home/zach/grants/biblios and /home/zach/biblios directories exist. Specify Zach’s working directory after he executes each sequence of commands. Explain what happens in each case. a. $ pwd /home/zach/grants $ CDPATH=$(pwd) $ cd $ cd biblios After executing the preceding commands, Zach’s working directory is /home/zach/grants/biblios. When CDPATH is set and the working directory is not specified in CDPATH, cd searches the working directory only after it searches the directories specified by CDPATH.

  • Configuring Your Login Session
    SSCC Pub.# 7-9 Last revised: 5/18/99 Configuring Your Login Session When you log into UNIX, you are running a program called a shell. The shell is the program that provides you with the prompt and that submits to the computer commands that you type on the command line. This shell is highly configurable. It has already been partially configured for you, but it is possible to change the way that the shell runs. Many shells run under UNIX. The shell that SSCC users use by default is called the tcsh, pronounced "Tee-Cee-shell", or more simply, the C shell. The C shell can be configured using three files called .login, .cshrc, and .logout, which reside in your home directory. Also, many other programs can be configured using the C shell's configuration files. Below are sample configuration files for the C shell and explanations of the commands contained within these files. As you find commands that you would like to include in your configuration files, use an editor (such as EMACS or nuTPU) to add the lines to your own configuration files. Since the first character of configuration files is a dot ("."), the files are called "dot files". They are also called "hidden files" because you cannot see them when you type the ls command. They can only be listed when using the -a option with the ls command. Other commands may have their own setup files. These files almost always begin with a dot and often end with the letters "rc", which stands for "run commands".

  • January 22, 2021. OFLC Announces Plan for Reissuing Certain
    January 22, 2021. OFLC Announces Plan for Reissuing Certain Prevailing Wage Determinations Issued under the Department’s Interim Final Rule of October 8, 2020; Compliance with the District Court’s Modified Order. On January 20, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Purdue University, et al. v. Scalia, et al. (No. 20-cv-3006) and Stellar IT, Inc., et al. v. Scalia, et al. (No. 20-cv- 3175) issued a modified order governing the manner and schedule in which the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) will reissue certain prevailing wage determinations (PWDs) that were issued from October 8, 2020 through December 4, 2020, under the wage methodology for the Interim Final Rule (IFR), Strengthening Wage Protections for the Temporary and Permanent Employment of Certain Aliens in the United States, 85 FR 63872 (Oct. 8, 2020). The Department is taking necessary steps to comply with the modified order issued by the District Court. Accordingly, OFLC will be reissuing certain PWDs issued under the Department’s IFR in two phases. Employers that have already submitted a request in response to the December 3, 2020 announcement posted by OFLC have been issued a PWD and do not need to resubmit a second request for reissuance or take other additional action. PHASE I: High Priority PWDs Within 15 working days of receiving the requested list of named Purdue Plaintiffs and Associational Purdue Plaintiffs from Plaintiffs’ counsel, OFLC will reissue all PWDs that have not yet been used in the filing of a Labor Condition Application (LCA) or PERM application as of January 20, 2021, and that fall into one or more of the following categories: 1.
