This will in no way attempt to cover all UNIX commands but rather only those useful for working with ALEPH. The last slide in this presentation gives a comparison of VMS and UNIX commands, and thus will be useful for those individuals familiar with VMS. Unix for ALEPH Users 3 Getting help Help may be obtained at any time while working with UNIX via the —man“ command. This will give pages of the manual relevant to the requested string written after —man“. For example to receive information about the command —ls“, one could write —man ls“ Unix for ALEPH Users 4 2 pwd pwd: return working directory name. States in what directory the user is currently present This user is currently located in the $alephe_scratch directory Unix for ALEPH Users 5 cd cd: change working directory. Allows the user to move from one working directory to another This user changed to $alephe_scratchand then to $data_scratch. After each change of directory he checked his location. Unix for ALEPH Users 6 3 ls ls: list contents of directory. Allows the user to view the files in the current directory. Additional parameters may be added to view only particular files or view them in a particular order These are the files present in the current working directory. Unless otherwise indicated they appear in alphabetical order Unix for ALEPH Users 7 ls -lrt ls -lrt: gives list of files in directory with date and size. -l: The parameter -l lists in long format, giving mode, ACL indication, number of links, owner, group, size in bytes, and time of last modification for each file -r: The parameter œr reverses the order of sort to get reverse alphabetic -t: The parameter œt sorts by time stamp (latest first) instead of by name. Unix for ALEPH Users 8 4 ls -lrt | tail tail: delivers the last part of a file or list of files. These are the 10 most recently created or updated files files present in the current working directory. They appear in reverse (-r) chronological order. Unix for ALEPH Users 9 WILDCARD * *: Represents none, one or more characters when searching for files This is a list of all files in the $alephe_scratchdirectory which contain the string —usm30“. Unix for ALEPH Users 10 5 WILDCARD ? A6 Represents one character when searching for files This is a list of all files in the current directory directory which contain the string —usm“, followed by one character, then followed by the string —0“, and then anything else ( * ). Unix for ALEPH Users 11 more more: browse or page through a text file The file run_b.3260is opened in non-editing format, one page at a time. Unix for ALEPH Users 12 6 cat cat: concatenate and display files in their entirety The entire file usm01_p_ret_01.00023has been opened Unix for ALEPH Users 13 tail tail: delivers the last part of a file or list of files. These are the 10 last lines of the —license“ file Unix for ALEPH Users 14 7 vi vi: opens the file in the screen-oriented (visual) display editor The file tab01.engmay now be edited in —vi“ mode Unix for ALEPH Users 15 cp cp: copies files to a new name and / or to a new directory The file tab01.enghas now been copied to a new file tab01.eng_20060411. If editing errors are now done on tab01.eng, the user can copy tab01.eng_20060411back to tab01.engand thus again have the original file Unix for ALEPH Users 16 8 cp Files may also be copied to a different directory The file tab00.enghas now been copied to the directory $data_root/private/ and given the name tab00.eng_old Unix for ALEPH Users 17 mv mv: renames or moves files, either to a new directory or to a new name The file tab00.eng_orighas been renamed to tab00.eng_without_new_fields Unix for ALEPH Users 18 9 rm rm: removes files The file tab00.eng_old in the directory $data_root/private/ has been deleted Unix for ALEPH Users 19 mkdir mkdir: creates a new directory A new directory has been created called private_testin the $data_root directory Unix for ALEPH Users 20 10 rmdir rmdir: removes a directory The directory called private_testin the $data_root directory has been deleted. As a security precaution the —rmdir“ command will not allow one to delete a directory with files or more directories in it. The message —Directory not empty“ will be given. Unix for ALEPH Users 21 df df: displays number of free disk blocks and files. If used with -k it will print the allocation in kbytes. The output consists of one line of information for each specified file system. Unix for ALEPH Users 22 11 grep rep: searches a file for a pattern The tab11_ind table in the $data_tab directory was searched for occurrences of —LOC“. If you are currently in the $data_tabdirectory there is no need to include it in the grep command. Unix for ALEPH Users 23 > >: sends output to as specific file The file tab11_ind has been searched for the string LOC. Rather than sending the output to the screen (as in the previous case) it is being sent to a file called test. This file can be viewed, sorted, analyzed or an additional grep may be performed. Unix for ALEPH Users 24 12 cat and > .ere the files test1 and test2are being opened via cat, and not sent to the screen but rather to a new inclusive file called test3. This file can be viewed, sorted, analyzed or an additional grep may be done on it. Unix for ALEPH Users 25 diff diff: display line-by-line differences between pairs of text files The file tab100has been compared to tab100_good and it was found that the —BROWSE-NO-MATCH=Y“ variable that is present in the in tab100file is not present in the tab100_good file. Unix for ALEPH Users 26 13 date date: write the date and time This is often useful for checking when log files have completed. If it appears as though there is a problem, the user should be sure the UNIX clock is correct. This also works with ALEPH programs, such as the circulation module. Unix for ALEPH Users 27 history history: process command history list This is often useful for seeing what previous commands have been done, when one is unsure for example what files he has changed or viewed. May also be done via —h“. Unix for ALEPH Users 28 14 UNIX and VMS commands pwd sh def mkdir create/dir cd set def rmdir delete [directory_name] ls dir grep search ls œlrt dir/dat/siz > /out=newfile more type/p cat type cp copy diff different mvrename date show time rm [delete file_name] history recall/all Unix for ALEPH Users 29 15.

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.

  • Text Editing in UNIX: an Introduction to Vi and Editing
    Text Editing in UNIX A short introduction to vi, pico, and gedit Copyright 20062009 Stewart Weiss About UNIX editors There are two types of text editors in UNIX: those that run in terminal windows, called text mode editors, and those that are graphical, with menus and mouse pointers. The latter require a windowing system, usually X Windows, to run. If you are remotely logged into UNIX, say through SSH, then you should use a text mode editor. It is possible to use a graphical editor, but it will be much slower to use. I will explain more about that later. 2 CSci 132 Practical UNIX with Perl Text mode editors The three text mode editors of choice in UNIX are vi, emacs, and pico (really nano, to be explained later.) vi is the original editor; it is very fast, easy to use, and available on virtually every UNIX system. The vi commands are the same as those of the sed filter as well as several other common UNIX tools. emacs is a very powerful editor, but it takes more effort to learn how to use it. pico is the easiest editor to learn, and the least powerful. pico was part of the Pine email client; nano is a clone of pico. 3 CSci 132 Practical UNIX with Perl What these slides contain These slides concentrate on vi because it is very fast and always available. Although the set of commands is very cryptic, by learning a small subset of the commands, you can edit text very quickly. What follows is an outline of the basic concepts that define vi.

  • 26 Disk Space Management
    26 Disk Space Management 26.1 INTRODUCTION It has been said that the only thing all UNIX systems have in common is the login message asking users to clean up their files and use less disk space. No matter how much space you have, it isn’t enough; as soon as a disk is added, files magically appear to fill it up. Both users and the system itself are potential sources of disk bloat. Chapter 12, Syslog and Log Files, discusses various sources of logging information and the techniques used to manage them. This chapter focuses on space problems caused by users and the technical and psy- chological weapons you can deploy against them. If you do decide to Even if you have the option of adding more disk storage to your system, add a disk, refer to it’s a good idea to follow this chapter’s suggestions. Disks are cheap, but Chapter 9 for help. administrative effort is not. Disks have to be dumped, maintained, cross-mounted, and monitored; the fewer you need, the better. 26.2 DEALING WITH DISK HOGS In the absence of external pressure, there is essentially no reason for a user to ever delete anything. It takes time and effort to clean up unwanted files, and there’s always the risk that something thrown away might be wanted again in the future. Even when users have good intentions, it often takes a nudge from the system administrator to goad them into action. 618 Chapter 26 Disk Space Management 619 On a PC, disk space eventually runs out and the machine’s primary user must clean up to get the system working again.

  • MTU and MSS Tutorial
    MTU and MSS Tutorial Dr. E. Garcia, [email protected] Published: November 16, 2009. Last Update: November 16, 2009. © 2009 E. Garcia Abstract – This tutorial covers maximum transmission unit ( MTU ), maximum segment size ( MSS ), PING, NETSTAT, and fragmentation. Expressions relevant to these concepts are systematically derived and explained. Keywords: maximum transmission unit, MTU , maximum segment size, MSS , PING, NETSTAT 1 MTU and MSS As discussed in the IP Packet Fragmentation Tutorial (http://www.miislita.com/internet-engineering/ip-packet-fragmentation-tutorial.pdf ) and elsewhere (1 - 3), the data payload ( DP ) of an IP packet is defined as the packet length ( PL ) minus the length of its IP header ( IPHL ), (Eq 1) whereܦܲ theൌ maximum ܲܮ െ ܫܲܪܮ PL is defined as the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) . This is the largest IP packet that can be transmitted without further fragmentation. Thus, when PL = MTU (Eq 2) However,ܦܲ ൌ an ܯܷܶ IP packet െ ܫܲܪܮ encapsulates a TCP packet such that DP = TCPHL + MSS (Eq 3) where TCPHL is the length of the TCP header and MSS is the data payload of the TCP packet, also known as the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) . Combining Equations 2 and 3 leads to MSS = MTU – IPHL – TCPHL (Eq 4) Figure 1 illustrates the connection between MTU and MSS –for an IP packet decomposed into three fragments. Figure 1. Fragmentation example where MTU = PL = pl 1 = pl 2 > pl 3 and DP = dp 1 + dp 2 + dp 3 = PL – IPHL . © 2009 E. Garcia 1 Typically, IP and TCP headers are 20 bytes long. Thus, MSS = MTU – 40 (Eq 5) If IP or TCP options are specified, the MSS is further reduced by the number of bytes taken up by the options (OP), each of which may be one byte or several bytes in size.

User Manual for Ox: An Attribute-Grammar Compiling System based on Yacc, Lex, and C Abstract Ox generalizes the function of Yacc in the way that attribute grammars generalize context-free grammars. Ordinary Yacc and Lex specifications may be augmented with definitions of synthesized and inherited attributes written in C syntax. From these specifications, Ox generates a program that builds and decorates attributed parse trees. Ox accepts a most general class of attribute grammars. The user may specify postdecoration traversals for easy ordering of side effects such as code generation. Ox handles the tedious and error-prone details of writing code for parse-tree management, so its use eases problems of security and maintainability associated with that aspect of translator development. The translators generated by Ox use internal memory management that is often much faster than the common technique of calling malloc once for each parse-tree node.
