  4. What is it and where do you get it? • An operating system used on everything from servers to embedded systems. • Most of the Network users first login to Unix machine before they really access to routers and switches

  5. Where do you get Help ~>man command • gives you help on that command. • tells you all man pages that contain keyword. • Of course .. Google or Wiki

  7. Files and Directories:Naming something gives you power over it.

  8. Absolute Addressing

  9. Addressing relative to your home dir.

  10. Addressing relative to your current dir.

  11. File system commands • pwd - report your current directory • cd <to where> - change your current directory • ls <directory> -list contents of directory • cp <old file> <new file> - copy • mv <old file> <new file> - move (or rename) • rm <file> -delete a file • mkdir <new directory name> -make a directory • rmdir <directory> -remove an empty directory

  12. getting recursive • remove a directory and its contents: rm -r <directory> • copy a directory and its contents: cp -r <directory>

  13. File permissions. • There are 3 kinds of people in the world: you (user), your friends (group) and everyone else (other). • Each sort of person may or may not be able to read, write, or execute a file. >ls -l .forward -rw-r--r-- 1 darin csua 23 Jan 23 2002 .forward Chown >ls -l .cshrc.local -rwxr-xr-- 1 darin csua 2988 May 19 00:48 .cshrc.local*

  14. executing • “executing” a file means running it as a program. • “executing” a directory means setting your current directory to it using cd.

  15. Changing File Permissions • make a file readable to your friends: chmod g+r <filename> • change who owns a file: chown <user> <filename> • change to which group the file belongs: chgrp <group> <filename>

  16. touch • look at the full listing again: >ls -l .forward -rw-r--r-- 1 darin csua 23 Jan 23 2002 .forward • Each file has a date stamp of when it was modified. • Use touch to set the timestamp to the current clock. touch <filename> • Touch creates the file if it didn’t exist beforehand. • You can only touch a file to which you can write.

  17. Symbolic Links • use ln -s <old file> <second name>to create a symbolic link to a file. >ls -l .forward* -rw-r--r-- 1 darin csua .forward drwxr-xr-x 1 darin csua .forward.link@ -> .forward • The first “l” tells you that it’s a symbolic link. • Symbolic links can be used as if it were its target.

  19. what’s a shell? • The shell is the program that runs when you log in. It prints the prompt and reads what you type, invokes programs, etc. • your window to the Unix world. • use “chsh <new shell>” to change your shell

  20. File Globbing • some commands can work on many files at once: ~> rm file1 file2 file27 • Use * to match any number of unknown characters ~> rm file* • Use ? to match one unknown character. ~> rm file??

  21. (un)aliasing • create shortcuts for yourself ~>alias ll “ls -la” Use alias with no arguments to discover current aliases ~>alias rm rm -i ll ls -la • Type “unalias rm” to remove alias.

  22. shell variables, echo (tcsh) ~>setenv BOB “joe” (tcsh) ~>printenv BOB joe (tcsh) ~>echo $BOB joe

  23. PATH: a very important shell variable >echo $PATH /home/d/da/darin/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/bin/pbmutils:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/local/X11/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/opt/local/gnu/bin:/opt/local/games/bin:/usr/ucb:./ • If a program (like ls) is in one directory found in your path, then typing it (~>ls <enter>) will execute it. • Otherwise you can type the full absolute address to execute a program (~>/usr/bin/ls <enter>)

  24. finding things in your PATH. • Type “which <command>” to find the location of the program which would be run when you type <command>. • If you don’t remember if it was chgrp or chgroup, type “ch<control-d>” to get a list of commands that starts with ch. • when all else fails, use “find” to find a file. ~>find <start dir> -name “*.doc”

  25. Other useful pre-defined shell variables • HOST what computer you’re logged into • PAGER program used display man pages • PWD current directory • GROUP what group you’re in • USER your login

  26. Shell scripts. • If you have a bunch of commands you’d like to automate, you can put them on separate lines of a file. Then type “source <file>” to run the script. • If the first line of your script looks like #!<program name> then you can make the script executable. When it executes, it uses <program name> to interpret the contents of the script.

  27. Login scripts • Most people have a script that executes when they log in. It is commonly used to set up one’s PATH and aliases. • Ask someone to help you start your own login script.

  28. screen is your friend • You can use the program “screen” to run several shells from one window. • create a new shell by pressing <ctrl-a> c • switch shells by pressing <ctrl-a> <number> • use “<ctrl-a> d” to detach a session and come back to it later.

  30. Your Options • Abstinence (switch majors, unplug your computer) • monogamy (use only one computer, do not use network) • protection (also known as encryption)

  31. What not to use. • telnet, ftp, rlogin • all your data (including your password) is transmitted plain text over the network. • from library machines you can use the java ssh client from a web browser.

  32. using ssh keys • use “ssh-keygen” to generate a public/private set of keys. You keep the private key and append the public key to authorized_keys. • You can now log in using either your password or the private key file.

  33. using secure copy: scp • copy local to remote scp <source file> user@machine:<path> • copy remote to local scp user@machine:<path> <source file>

  34. Outline I. getting help II. the file system III. the shell V. email options VI. and lesser editors VII. input and output redirection VIII.printing IX. process management X. X

  35. the program mail • “mail”: useful for sending: >mail darin@csua Subject: hello Cc: hi there this is a message .

  36. other console based options • elm - quick and simple, easy to use, but doesn’t handle attachments very well. • pine - more complete. the “standard” • mutt - most modern/complex.

  37. accessing mail remotely • netscape, outlook, eudora, and others can get at your mail using POP or IMAP. • POP takes the messages off the server to your local computer. • IMAP only reads headers, but leaves mail how it is on the server. Works well if you wish to use console based email. • ALWAYS use SSL (encryption).

  39. vi • is an editor available on all decent Unix systems. Developed at Berkeley. • Has two modes: command and insert. In insert mode you can type normally. • Press escape to get into command mode. In command mode each letter is a command. hjkl 

  40. pico - the pine composer • the simplest visual editor available on most Unix systems. • all possible commands displayed at bottom of screen. (control-somethings) • no real surprises

  42. STD* • All terminal programs have: • standard output, which is usually your screen • standard input, which is usually your keyboard • standard error, which is also the screen

  43. redirect output to a file with > • If you type who at the prompt, you will get a list of who is logged into the system. • If you type who >f, a file named f will be created and the standard output of who will be placed in that file instead of to your screen.

  44. > vers >> • By default, who >f will overwrite the file f. • Use who >>f to append to f rather than overwriting it.

  45. redirecting input from a file with < • The program sort will sort its standard input and then print it on standard out. • To sort the lines of file1 and display: sort < file1 • To sort the lines of file1 and save in file2: sort < file1 > file2

  46. The output of one program can be the input to another. who | sort >file1 • The output of who is sorted and shown on your terminal screen.

  47. grep • grep shows only those lines containing its search pattern. • To see all lines in a file containing ‘bob’: grep ‘Dropped Packet’ < file1 >file2

  48. The cat command • the arguments to cat are concatenated together and displayed on stdout. To view a file: cat file1 • if no arguments, cat puts on stdout whatever you type on stdin, so this does the same thing: cat < file1

  49. Outline I. getting help II. the file system III. the shell V. email options VI. and lesser editors VII. input and output redirection VIII. process management • Other Useful commands

  50. how to print a .ps file • syntax: lp -D<printer> <filename> • example: lp -Dlw330 myfile.ps
