Link of the week What are KDE products? What is debian? What is Knoppix?

Use of the Virtual Machine 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.

Use of the Virtual Machine Linux KDE (K Desktop Environment) Tray buttons icons - K Menu - Home - Konsole - Konqueror Web browser - Iceweasel Web browser (Firefox)

Review week two lab assignment The Advanced Scripting lab assignment requires two shell scripts to be written. - srch.sh - srchfile.sh The srch.sh script will call the srchfile.sh script to perform a specific task. That task is to search a file for a pattern and report it to standard output. When the file search ends, control is then returned to the main script (srch.sh). The command line format to execute the srch.sh script is as follows:./srch.sh Example:./srch.sh then. Example:./srch.sh if Example:./srch.sh done /bin

Review week two lab assignment Command line format to execute the srchfile.sh script is as follows:./srchfile.sh Example:./srchfile.sh then printnum.sh Shell syntax review srchfile.sh $1 $2 original=$PWD cd $original cd $2 listing=`ls –l | cut –f9` for file_name in listing do Action statements done

Review week two lab assignment Shell syntax for srch.sh script #!/bin/ksh Original=$PWD if [ Fill in test condition ] then echo "error: must provide 2 arguments" echo "usage: $0 search-pattern file" elif [Fill in test condition ] then echo "error: must provide 2 arguments" echo "usage: $0 search-pattern file" elif [Fill in test condition ] then srchfile.sh $(missing syntax) $(missing syntax) elif [Fill in test condition ] then Action statement fi

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.txt (keyboard input goes into test_file.txt) cat < test_file.txt (test_file.txt is displayed on terminal) cat foobar2 >> foobar1 (append first file to second file) who | sort > test_out.txt The output of the who command is piped to the sort function and written in ascending order in the test_out.txt file.

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/Fall_solutions/foobar1 find ~dandrear –type d -print myArray[1]=$1 $0 Demonstrate the.profile settings umask 077 (specifies what permissions the system should remove)

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

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

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

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.

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

Next lab assignment Read Chapters 1 and 2 in Programming Perl text book Review Chapter thirty two (32), pages 865, 899 Review Chapter thirty three (33) provides diagnostic messages for output errors.

Break out problems $ARGV[0] exit 0 unless $NUMBER exit 1 $ARGV[1] % (%directory) diff tr “[a-z]” “[A-Z]” fileout

Upcoming Deadlines Advanced Scripting Lab Assignment 3-1 due on 9/30/08. Simple Perl Exercises Lab Assignment 4-1 due on 10/7/08. Mid-term exam Lab Assignment 7-1 will be administered 10/21 (Tuesday). Mid term outline will be posted on the Bulletin Board by 10/7/08 (Tuesday).

Questions and Answers Questions Comments Concerns After class I will help students with their scripts.
