Training.
A full day workshop that will instruct on advanced techniques of
UNIX/LINUX directed towards engineers and scientists.
The workshop begins with monitoring and altering programs running on a
LINUX computer. It then builds on previous knowledge f using built-in
UNIX/LINUX programs for finding, analysing, and modifying files and
datasets. It then progresses into a key aspect of this workshop which
is learning how to do basic UNIX/LINUX programming i.e. shell scripts).
In this, you will learn how to write shell scripts to do repetitive
UNIX/LINUX tasks, perform decision making, run a series of your programs
and analyse data using built-in UNIX/LINUX programs automatically,
without your intervention.
Students will have hands-on experience and will be instructed through a
combination of tutorial style lectures and multiple practice sessions
where the student will undertake practice tasks to reinforce their
learning.
CONTENT:
Monitoring and altering the running of programs using ps, top, tail, and
nice/renice.
Dealing with data using grep, awk, sed, redirection, and pipes.
Shell environment (environment variables, adding, changing, deleting)
and defaults (altering default values).
Shell programming (Shell scripts). Writing shell scripts in the Bourne
Shell. Learning how to do decision making and loops in shell scripts
and the implementation of data analysis (grep, awk, etc) within these
shell scripts. Running shell scripts in the background.
