Basic UNIX Primer. UNIX comes in a variety of constantly changing flavors (SUNOS, HPUX, BSD and Solaris, just to name a few). Each of these UNIX types will have small variations from all of the others. This may seem a bit discouraging at first, but in reality each version of UNIX has more in common with all of the others than differences. The ls command, for example, will give a listing of the current directory in any UNIX environment. The changes or semantics local to any particular brand of UNIX should be explained in the manual pages that come with that particular system.

Basic UNIX Primer The purpose of this explanation is not to explore the differences between different UNIX flavors, but rather to assume that they are all equivalent and look at how the different shells behave.

UNIX Commands The UNIX operating system comes with many commands that allows the user to interact with their computer. UNIX commands are simply programs that are executed when called for. The usual place for the storage of these commands is the /usr/bin directory. The commands that are available on a particular machine will vary. There is a set number of standard commands that come with a UNIX system, but there is no limit to the commands that can be made available.

What is a shell? A shell is an entity that takes input from the user and deals with the computer rather than have the user deal directly with the computer. If the user had to deal directly with the computer he would not get much done as the computer only understands strings of 1's and 0's. While this is a bit of a misrepresentation of what the shell actually does (the idea of an operating system is neglected) it provides a rough idea that should cause the reader to be grateful that there is such a thing as a shell. A good way to view a shell is as follows. When a person drives a car, that person doesn't have to actually adjust every detail that goes along with making the engine run, or the electronic system controlling all of the engine timing and so on. All the user (or driver in this example) needs to know is that D means drive and that pressing accelerator pedal will make the car go faster or slower. The dashboard would also be considered part of the shell since pertinent information relating to the user's involvement in operating the car is displayed there.

What is a shell? In fact any part of the car that the user has control of during operation of the car would be considered part of the shell. I think the idea of what a shell is coming clear now. It is a program that allows the user to use the computer without him having to deal directly with it. It is in a sense a protective shell that prevents the user and computer from coming into contact with one another.

Command Line Parsing To parse a command line means to look at each part of the command line and convert it into something that the computer can execute. Since there variations in how different shells parse a command line, it can be assumed that the shell in question is generic. When a user enters a command line at the prompt, the shell begins by analyzing the command line. The shell will break the command line down into small indivisible pieces called tokens (sometimes they are referred to as atomic).

Command Line Parsing Each token is then analyzed in terms of its relationship with the other tokens. This is similar to the human examination of an English sentence. If a noun is present, but no verb, the sentence is deemed incomplete. The shell behaves in much the same matter. It doesn't only check for missing bits, it also makes sure that what is there is in correct order. The shell may have to examine a command line more than once to collect all of the tokens. Each examination is called a pass. The reason for multiple passes is that command lines can be quite complicated, there can be all kinds of substitutions that need to be made.

Command Line Parsing On each pass the shell will make a required substitution and then collect the available tokens. Since the substitutions can be nested (substitutions containing substitutions), the shell may require several passes to collect all of the tokens. As stated above, if at this point in the process the shell determines that the grammar of the command line is incorrect, an error is displayed to the user, or else the command is executed. While the actual order in which the tokens are gathered is interesting, it is beyond the scope of this course. Where required (such as aliases) the order of some of the parsing procedure will be presented.

Command Line Parsing There are two types of arguments, OPTIONS and PARAMETERS. Options come right after the command name and consist of a – (minus sign character) followed by a letter. Parameters come after the options. The example : ls –l file1 file2 file3

Review Shell syntax Shell Variables One of the ways the shell lets you customize your working environment is by using shell variables. A shell variable is an item, known by a name, that represents a value of some type. As the term “variable” implies, the value of a shell variable can be changed. There are two types of shell variables. First, there are variables that act as off/on switches. Second, there are variables that store a particular value as a string of characters.

Review Shell syntax Shell Set Command Debugging part of a script: set -x # activate debugging # your commands go here... set +x # stop debugging

Review Shell syntax Shell Set Command set -A is Korn Shell (ksh) specific (not available in Bash or POSIX SH) and it initializes an array with the specified value(s). $ set -A COLORS "red" "green" "blue" $ print ${COLORS[0]} red $ print ${COLORS[1]} green $ print ${COLORS[2]} blue

Review Shell syntax $# - Number of positional parameters $! - Background PID $? - Return value $$ - Process PID $ - Provides the content of a variable ($NUMBER) $0, $1, $2, $3 … - This syntax represents the positional parameters on the command line../printnum.sh 4 exit 0 – The return values is a number from 0 to 255. A value of zero (0) indicates a normal exit. exit 1 - Indicates a failure occurred.

Review shell syntax “ “ - Double quotes. Removes special meaning of all enclosed characters, except $, `, “, and \. Example: print “The price is $Price.\n”; (interpolation) ‘ ’ - Literal quotes. Removes the special meaning of all enclosed characters. A single quote cannot appear within single quotes because a single quote denotes the end of the string. ` ` - Single Back-Tic quotes. Used for command substitution. Example: echo The date is `date` (interpolation) LINES=`wc -l $ENTRY | cut -c 1-7` LISTING=`ls -l | cut -f 9`

Review Command Structure if [ -d "$1" ] then action statement fi wc –l - Word count with –l (line option). Print the new line counts ~ - Tilde (~ means /home/dandrear) for name in * do action statements done

Review Command Structure while [ condition] do action statement(s) done if [ condition ] then action statement(s) fi

Review Command Structure for name in * do action statements done Example: while [ "$1" != "" ] do # Store the value zero (0) in the variable size. $size = 0 done

Review Command Structure Examples: if [ $# –ne 1 ] then echo “Please enter a command line argument” fi logfile="/var/adm/messages" foreach mon in Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat do grep $mon $logfile > $logfile.$mon end

Next Weeks Lab Assignment Review Lab Assignment 2-1 Simple Shell scripting. Lab assignments should be recorded on cs.franklin.edu (Einstein) machine in your “~/itec400/homework” directory. Demonstrate how to create a file using the “vi” editor. Execute printnum.sh and maxlines.sh scripts on the cs.franklin.edu machine. Lab Assignment 2-1 will be complemented with script logic. Script logic will be utilized to jump start the lab assignment. It contains script logic, 70% percent of the needed coding, and helpful hints to assist your programming skills. In addition to script logic, you will receive a Shell and Perl Commands Quick Reference document in .
