Readings: See CCSO’s Unix pages and 9-2 cp option file1 file2 First Version cp file1 file2 file3 … dirname Second Version This is one version of the cp command. file2 is created and the contents of file1 are copied into file2. If file2 already exits, it This version copies the files file1, file2, file3,… into the directory will be replaced with a new one. dirname. where option is -i Protects you from overwriting an existing file by asking you for a yes or no before it copies a file with an existing name. -r Can be used to copy directories and all their contents into a new directory 9-3 9-4 cs101 jsmith cs101 jsmith pwd data data mp1 pwd mp1 {FILES: mp1_data.m, mp1.m } {FILES: mp1_data.m, mp1.m } Copy the file named mp1_data.m from the cs101/data Copy the file named mp1_data.m from the cs101/data directory into the pwd. directory into the mp1 directory. > cp ~cs101/data/mp1_data.m . > cp ~cs101/data/mp1_data.m mp1 The (.) dot means “here”, that is, your pwd. 9-5 The (.) dot means “here”, that is, your pwd. 9-6 Example: To create a new directory named “temp” and to copy mv option file1 file2 First Version the contents of an existing directory named mp1 into temp, This is one version of the mv command. file1 is renamed file2. where option is -i Protects you from overwriting an existing file by asking you > cp -r mp1 temp for a yes or no before it copies a file with an existing name.

  • Unix Security Overview: 1
    CIS/CSE 643: Computer Security (Syracuse University) Unix Security Overview: 1 Unix Security Overview 1 User and Group • Users – root: super user (uid = 0) – daemon: handle networks. – nobody: owns no files, used as a default user for unprivileged operations. ∗ Web browser can run with this mode. – User needs to log in with a password. The encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow. – User information is stored in /etc/passwd, the place that was used to store passwords (not anymore). The following is an example of an entry in this file. john:x:30000:40000:John Doe:/home/john:/usr/local/bin/tcsh • Groups – Sometimes, it is more convenient if we can assign permissions to a group of users, i.e. we would like to assign permission based on groups. – A user has a primary group (listed in /etc/passwd), and this is the one associated to the files the user created. – Any user can be a member of multiple groups. – Group member information is stored in /etc/group % groups uid (display the groups that uid belongs to) – For systems that use NIS (Network Information Service), originally called Yellow Page (YP), we can get the group information using the command ypcat. % ypcat group (can display all the groups and their members) 2 File Permissions • File Permissions – The meaning of the permission bits in Unix. ∗ Owner (u), Group (g), and Others (o). ∗ Readable (r), Writable (w), and Executable (x). ∗ Example: -rwxrwxrwx (777) • Permissions on Directories: – r: the directory can be listed. – w: can create/delete a file or a directory within the directory.

  • Laboratory 1: Getting Familiar with GLUE UNIX Programming Environment
    Laboratory 1: Getting Familiar with GLUE UNIX Programming Environment Lecture notes: 1. Scope of the course Prerequisite for ENEE 150 (see the last page for more details), very basic skills in programming and UNIX. a. Principles of programming and software development. b. C will be used as the programming language to illustrate the concepts. c. Basic skills in UNIX operating systems. 2. How to program (or develop software package in the future) a. Document everything you do in each of the following steps. b. Understand the project/problem requirements c. Develop algorithm (the way or method to solve the problem) d. Plan for the implementation of your algorithm (data structure, etc.) e. Write the programming (C, C++, Java, Matlab, etc.) f. Compile the program (gcc or cc in GLUE UNIX for C codes. Compiler is the interpreter that translates the program written in the so-called high level programming languages like C by human, who call themselves programmers, and understandable by human to the low level language that the computer understands.) g. Execute, test, and debug your program on sample data. h. Go back to step d. (modify your code) if necessary (programming or syntax bugs). i. Go back to step c. or step b. if there are serious problems (algorithm or logic bugs). j. Confirm that all the project requirements are met. (output format, etc.) 3. What is UNIX? a. UNIX is an operating system, like windows, which is a complex set of computer codes that manages the activities and resources of the computer. It is very popular in universities and colleges.

  • 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.
