2. Week Three Agenda Administrative Issues Link of the week Review week two lab assignment This week’s expected outcomes Next lab assignment Break-out problems Upcoming deadlines Lab assistance, questions, and answers Weekly quiz

3. Administrative Issues • Lab assignments such as LDAP, Reiser File System, and open source papers shall follow APA documentation style. Franklin University utilizes the following course book in the PF321 class: Professional Foundations Learning Strategies • Grading will focus on capitalization, punctuation, and citation.

4. Link of the week http://www.knoppix.net This is a Knoppix Web site, receive a free and Open Source Live Linux CD. Knoppix is a GNU/Linux distribution that boots and runs completely from CD. It includes Linux software and desktop environments, with programs like OpenOffice.org, The Gimp, Apache, PHP, MySQL and many more open software programs.

5. Link of the week Caveat: Knoppix software was designed to be used as a Live CD because of specific features that make it’s performance and stability very suitable. It has been noted in several articles that Knoppix works best from a Live CD. Knoppix enthusiasts have attempted to install this software on a hard disk and encountered problems in the process. These problems are most pronounced when installing updates and new software.

6. Review week two lab assignment drwxrwxrwx permissions (directory) -rwxrwxrwx permissions (file) The exit statement should always contain a return value. 0 indicates normal exit 1 indicates failed exit The return value of a command can be used with conditional or iteration commands.

7. Review week two lab assignment Users can connect the standard output of one command into the standard input of another command by using the pipeline operator (|). Demonstrate ps -ef ps –ef | wc –l ps –ef | awk ‘{print $2}’ ps –ef | grepdandrear ls –l | cut –c1-3 who –b (time of last system boot) who –d (print dead processes) who –r (print current run level)

8. Week two lab assignment A process associates a number with each file that it has opened. This number is called a file descriptor. When you log in, your first process has the following three open files connected to your terminal. • Standard Input (stdin) : Filedescriptor 0 is open for reading. Standard Output (stdout): File descriptor 1 is open for writing. Standard Error (stderr): File descriptor 2 is open reading. Demonstrate ls –a > /tmp/output 2>&1 > is equivalent to 1> < is equivalent to <0

9. Review week two lab assignment A file descriptor is generally an index for an entry in a kernel-resident data structure that contains information on all open files. Each process on the system has its own file descriptor table. A user application passes the abstract key to the kernel through a system call, and the kernel accesses the file for the application.

11. Review week two lab assignment The grep command searches the named input file(s)for lines containing a given pattern. Each line found is reported to standard output. Demonstrate: grep UNIX foobar_3 grep ‘^UNIX’ foobar_3 grep ‘UNIX$’ foobar_3 grep pattern foobar_1 grep pattern * The find command lists all pathnames that are in each of the given directories. Demonstrate: find / -type d –print find ~dandrear –type d -print find . –print find / -name foobar

12. Review week two lab assignment Redirect the standard output of a command to a file. date > /tmp/date_saved Redirect the standard input of a command so that it reads from a file instead of from your terminal. cat < ~dandrear/Winter09_solutions/test.txt Append the standard output of a command to a file. cat foobar_2 >> foobar_1

13. Review week two lab assignment The Advanced Scripting lab assignment requires two shell scripts to be written. srch.sh srchfile.sh Demonstrate Execution of srch.sh and srchfile.sh Case #1: ./srch.sh <pattern> <file name / directory name> The srch.sh script will call the srchfile.sh script to perform a specific task. That specific task is task to search a file for a pattern and report it to standard output. When the end of file is reached, control is then returned to the main script, srch.sh.

14. Review week two lab assignment Shell syntax srchfile.sh $1 $2 original=$PWD cd $original cd $2 listing=`ls –l | cut –c57-80` for file_name in $listing do Action Statements done

15. Review week two lab assignment ls –l | more ls –l | less (count the fields/use “q” to quit) ls -a (does not hide entries) less man (utilizes the less command for reading online documentation). cat > test_file (keyboard input goes into test_file) cat < test_file (test_file is displayed on terminal) cat foobar_2 >> foobar_1 (append first file to second file) who | sort > test_file.txt The output of the who command is piped to the sort function and written in ascending order in the test_file.txt file.

16. Review week two lab assignment > test_file cat /etc/passwd grep x /etc/passwd | cut –d’:’ –f1 chmod 705 * chmod 705 test_file grep lines ~dandrear/Winter09_solutions/foobar_1 find ~dandrear–type d -print myArray[1]=$1 $0

17. Review week two lab assignment Demonstrate /export/home/dandrear/.profile umask 077 Specifies the default permissions for a file and directory Demonstrate The command line arguments are: $0 $1 $2 $3 … ./arg_list.sh FIRST_ARG SECOND_ARG

18. Review week two lab assignment HOME = is set to the full path name of your login directory (/export/home/dandrear) PATH = contains the command search path. It is set to a series of path names separated by colons (:). SHELL = This entry may be set by the system administrator to the path name of a shell interpreter other than the standard bash. TERM = specifies what terminal you are using. TMOUT = variable contains the integer attribute. If you set the value greater than zero, ksh terminates if you do not enter a command within the prescribed number of seconds after ksh issues the PS1 prompt. MAIL = Name of your Mail files EDITOR = Pathname for your editor

19. Week’s 2 & 3 expected outcomes Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to: • Create scripts using shell/Perl variables and program control flow. • Use redirection and pipes to combine scripts and executables. • Use man page system and find script tools. • Discuss Perl Language

20. Next lab assignment Introduction to Perl Perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language • Perl is a simple language - Compiles and executes like a shell script or a batch file - Perl doesn’t impose special growth limitations on arrays and data strings - Perl is a composite of C, AWK, and Basic - Originally developed to manipulate text

21. Next lab assignment Perl’s range of flexibility - System administration - Web development - Network programming - GUI development Major features - Procedural Programming Sequence or unstructured statements Includes routines, subroutines, methods, or functions - Object Oriented Programming Module uses “objects” and their interactions to design applications and computer programs.

22. Next lab assignment Major features (continued) - Powerful built-in support for text processing - Large collection of third-party modules.

23. Break out problems 1. scalar@ARGV 2. $ARGV[0] 3. exit 0 4. unless 5. $NUMBER 6. exit 1 7. $ARGV[1] 8. % (%directory) 9. $ ($quote) 10. @ (@names) 11. diff 12. tr “[a-z]” “[A-Z]” < filein > fileout

24. Next lab assignment Read the text, Programming Perl Chapter One (1) Chapter Two (2) Chapter 32: Standard Modules Chapter 33: Diagnostic Output Messages

25. Upcoming Deadlines • Lab Assignment 3-1 due on 1/29/09 • Lab Assignment 4-1 due on 2/5/09 • Lab Assignment 7-1 Mid-term exam 2/19/09 • Mid term outline will be posted on the Bulletin Board by 2/4/09.
