administrators with complete information that can affect your selection of options when performing such tasks as backing up and restoring the system, managing physical and logical storage, sizing appropriate paging space, and so on. It provides complete information about how to perform such tasks as managing logical volumes, storage, and resources. System users can learn how to perform such tasks as running commands, handling processes, handling files and directories, and basic printing. Other topics useful to users and system administrators include creating and resizing paging space, managing virtual memory, backing up and restoring the system, managing hardware and pseudodevices, using the System Resource Controller (SRC), securing files, using storage media, customizing environment files, and writing shell scripts. This document is also available on the documentation CD that is shipped with the operating system. Highlighting The following highlighting conventions are used in this document: Bold Identifies commands, subroutines, keywords, files, structures, directories, and other items whose names are predefined by the system. Also identifies graphical objects such as buttons, labels, and icons that the user selects. Italics Identifies parameters whose actual names or values are to be supplied by the user. Identifies examples of specific data values, examples of text similar to what you Monospace might see displayed, examples of portions of program code similar to what you might write as a programmer, messages from the system, or information you should actually type. Case-sensitivity in AIX Everything in the AIX® operating system is case-sensitive, which means that it distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters. For example, you can use the ls command to list files. If you type LS, the system responds that the command is not found. Likewise, FILEA, FiLea, and filea are three distinct file names, even if they reside in the same directory. To avoid causing undesirable actions to be performed, always ensure that you use the correct case. ISO 9000 ISO 9000 registered quality systems were used in the development and manufacturing of this product. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2010, 2018 v vi AIX Version 7.2: Operating system management Operating system management System administrators and users can learn how to perform such tasks as running commands, handling processes, handling files and directories, backing up and restoring the system, managing physical and logical storage, and basic printing. Other topics useful to users and system administrators include creating and re-sizing paging space, managing virtual memory, backing up and restoring the system, managing hardware and pseudo devices, using the System Resource Controller (SRC), securing files, using storage media, customizing environment files, and writing shell scripts. This topic is also available on the documentation CD that is shipped with the operating system. Operating system management is the task of an individual who is usually referred to, in UNIX literature, as the system administrator. Unfortunately, only a few system administrator activities are straightforward enough to be correctly called administration. This and related guides are intended to help

    Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide An in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting Mendel Cooper <[email protected]> 5.1 10 November 2007 Revision History Revision 4.3 29 Apr 2007 Revised by: mc 'INKBERRY' release: Minor Update. Revision 5.0 24 Jun 2007 Revised by: mc 'SERVICEBERRY' release: Major Update. Revision 5.1 10 Nov 2007 Revised by: mc 'LINGONBERRY' release: Minor Update. This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts. This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts. The latest update of this document, as an archived, bzip2-ed "tarball" including both the SGML source and rendered HTML, may be downloaded from the author's home site.

  • What's a Script?
    Linux shell scripting – “Getting started ”* David Morgan *based on chapter by the same name in Classic Shell Scripting by Robbins and Beebe What ’s a script? text file containing commands executed as a unit “command” means a body of code from somewhere from where? – the alias list, in the shell’s memory – the keywords, embedded in the shell – the functions that are in shell memory – the builtins, embedded in the shell code itself – a “binary” file, outboard to the shell 1 Precedence of selection for execution aliases keywords (a.k.a. reserved words) functions builtins files (binary executable and script) – hash table – PATH Keywords (a.k.a. reserved words) RESERVED WORDS Reserved words are words that have a special meaning to the shell. The following words are recognized as reserved when unquoted and either the first word of a simple command … or the third word of a case or for command: ! case do done elif else esac fi for function if in select then until while { } time [[ ]] bash man page 2 bash builtin executables source continue fc popd test alias declare fg printf times bg typeset getopts pushd trap bind dirs hash pwd type break disown help read ulimit builtin echo history readonly umask cd enable jobs return unalias caller eval kill set unset command exec let shift wait compgen exit local shopt complete export logout suspend * code for a bash builtin resides in file /bin/bash, along with the rest of the builtins plus the shell program as a whole. Code for a utility like ls resides in its own dedicated file /bin/ls, which holds nothing else.

Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1 Introduction 1.1 What is Bash? Bash is the shell, or command language interpreter, for the gnu operating system. The name is an acronym for the `Bourne-Again SHell', a pun on Stephen Bourne, the author of the direct ancestor of the current Unix shell /bin/sh, which appeared in the Seventh Edition Bell Labs Research version of Unix. Bash is largely compatible with sh and incorporates useful features from the Korn shell ksh and the C shell csh. It is intended to be a conformant implementation of the ieee posix Shell and Tools specification (ieee Working Group 1003.2). It offers functional improvements over sh for both interactive and programming use. While the gnu operating system provides other shells, including a version of csh, Bash is the default shell.
