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.

  • K15569543: Producing a TMM Diagnostic Core File
    K15569543: Producing a TMM diagnostic core file Support Solution Original Publication Date: Oct 22, 2019 Update Date: Aug 12, 2020 Details Description F5 Support may ask you to produce a Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) core file on the BIG-IP system to establish the state of TMM process during an event. You should perform this task only when asked to do so by F5 Support. Important: The BIG-IP system will temporarily fail to process traffic as it recovers from TMM restarting, and devices configured as a high availability (HA) pair may fail over. Additionally, on platforms with a large memory capacity, the system will respond slowly while it writes several gigabytes of data to the disk and compresses the core file. This process may take several minutes to complete. When the core file compression is complete, the unit returns to normal operation and restarts the TMMs. Environment BIG-IP F5 Support has requested a TMM diagnostic core file Adequate amount of disk space for the diagnostic core file K14403: Maintaining disk space on the BIG-IP system Cause None Recommended Actions To produce a TMM diagnostic core file, perform the following: 1. Disable the watchdog process K13539: Disabling the watchdog process to perform a core dump (11.x - 15.x) 2. Log in to the BIG-IP command line 3. Determine which tmm processes are running on the system, enter the following command: ps ax | grep -i tmm Note: Most BIG-IP platforms are enabled with Clustered Multiprocessing (CMP) and run multiple TMM 3. instances. Example: If a system has two instances of tmm running, output appears similar to the following: 5736 ? S 0:00 runsv tmm 12325 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/tmipsecd --tmmcount 12 12327 ? S 0:00 /etc/bigstart/scripts/tmm.start /var/run 12 6 0 0 --platform E101 -m -s 21853 16379 ? SLl 17:22 tmm.0 -T 6 --tmid 0 --npus 12 --platform E101 -m -s 21853 16380 ? SLl 17:31 tmm.6 -T 6 --tmid 6 --npus 12 --platform E101 -m -s 21853 17707 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep -i tmm Note: In this example, the two tmm instances are tmm.0 and tmm.6 4.

  • Chapter 10 SHELL Substitution and I/O Operations
    Chapter 10 SHELL Substitution and I/O Operations 10.1 Command Substitution Command substitution is the mechanism by which the shell performs a given set of commands and then substitutes their output in the place of the commands. Syntax: The command substitution is performed when a command is given as: `command` When performing command substitution make sure that you are using the backquote, not the single quote character. Example: Command substitution is generally used to assign the output of a command to a variable. Each of the following examples demonstrate command substitution: #!/bin/bash DATE=`date` echo "Date is $DATE" USERS=`who | wc -l` echo "Logged in user are $USERS" UP=`date ; uptime` echo "Uptime is $UP" This will produce following result: Date is Thu Jul 2 03:59:57 MST 2009 Logged in user are 1 Uptime is Thu Jul 2 03:59:57 MST 2009 03:59:57 up 20 days, 14:03, 1 user, load avg: 0.13, 0.07, 0.15 10.2 Shell Input/Output Redirections Most Unix system commands take input from your terminal and send the resulting output back to your terminal. A command normally reads its input from a place called standard input, which happens to be your terminal by default. Similarly, a command normally writes its output to standard output, which is also your terminal by default. Output Redirection: The output from a command normally intended for standard output can be easily diverted to a file instead. This capability is known as output redirection: If the notation > file is appended to any command that normally writes its output to standard output, the output of that command will be written to file instead of your terminal: Check following who command which would redirect complete output of the command in users file.

  • The Linux Command Line Presentation to Linux Users of Victoria
    The Linux Command Line Presentation to Linux Users of Victoria Beginners Workshop August 18, 2012 http://levlafayette.com What Is The Command Line? 1.1 A text-based user interface that provides an environment to access the shell, which interfaces with the kernel, which is the lowest abstraction layer to system resources (e.g., processors, i/o). Examples would include CP/M, MS-DOS, various UNIX command line interfaces. 1.2 Linux is the kernel; GNU is a typical suite of commands, utilities, and applications. The Linux kernel may be accessed by many different shells e.g., the original UNIX shell (sh), the TENEX C shell (tcsh), Korn shell (ksh), and explored in this presentation, the Bourne-Again Shell (bash). 1.3 The command line interface can be contrasted with the graphic user interface (GUI). A GUI interface typically consists of window, icon, menu, pointing-device (WIMP) suite, which is popular among casual users. Examples include MS-Windows, or the X- Window system. 1.4 A critical difference worth noting is that in UNIX-derived systems (such as Linux and Mac OS), the GUI interface is an application launched from the command-line interface, whereas with operating systems like contemporary versions of MS-Windows, the GUI is core and the command prompt is a native MS-Windows application. Why Use The Command Line? 2.1 The command line uses significantly less resources to carry out the same task; it requires less processor power, less memory, less hard-disk etc. Thus, it is preferred on systems where performance is considered critical e.g., supercomputers and embedded systems.
