June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment1 Introduction to UNIX A. Basic Environment

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment2 Performance Objectives Capabilities you should be able to perform following this module. 1. Describe the four functional parts of UNIX. 2. List three primary functions of the C Shell. 3. Log ON/OFF, view MOTD (logout, exit, sync). 4. Identify basic UNIX Prompts (% $ #). 5. Parse a UNIX command line. 6. Erase typing errors (stty erase). 7. Change passwords, (passwd). 8. Use Online Documentation (man, which, whereis, whatis). 9. Identify system users (who, finger). 10. Change shells (csh, sh)

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment3 Workstation Components l Hardware n Monitor n CPU n Keyboard n Mouse / pad n File Server

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment4 Network Environment l Typical Network l Types of Networks è Local Area Network - LAN è Campus è Wide Area LAN WS Router Backbone Other LANs Gateway Internet

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment5 UNIX - Software l Multi-tasking l Multi-user l UNIX Flavors è Berkeley (BSD) è AT&T (System V)

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment6 Structure of UNIX l Hardware l Kernel l Utilities l Shell Hardware Kernel Utilities Shell

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment7 Logging On l Every user has a unique name associated with a password: host login: dhk Password: (password not echoed) host% l Message of the Day displayed

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment8 Message of the Day - MOTD l Advise users of important activities regarding the computing environment. è /etc/motd l Must be kept current or users start ignoring.

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment9 Log Off l Either ^d or the command logout if: n set ignoreeof n is defined in.cshrc file l Problems logging out: n There are stopped jobs (Interrupted jobs) n Not login shell (type exit then logout)

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment10 The UNIX Shell l Command Interpreter - identifies the program to run and data streams to connect to it (file expansion). host% cd host% (successful) host% cxmod cxmod: command not found (unsuccessful)

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment11 The UNIX Shell l Programming - Shell Scripts l Files containing commands: #!/bin/sh echo -n "Enter desired root = " read root ls -l $root/* > x sort +5n -r x | more -10

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment12 The UNIX Shell l Customize Sessions & Environments l Establish "dot" files" n.cshrc n.login n.profile

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment13 Different Shells l The C-Shell (%) provides for good interactive control through History and Job Control. l The Bourne Shell ($) has some attributes that make it well suited for scripts. l The Korn Shell ($) is fully compatible with the Bourne shell and has several added features that emulate the C-Shell.

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment14 Changing Shells l Change to another shell interactively with the shell commands: è sh changes to the Bourne shell è csh changes to the C shell è tcshchanges to the T shell è bash changes to the Bourne Again shell è exit reverts to the previous shell (or logs out if in the login shell)

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment15 UNIX Prompts l Identifies the "shell" you are operating in: n % C-Shell or T-Shell n $ Bourne Shell n # Root (super user) l System checks the /etc/passwd file to determine default shell: ths:K/zY94QSf:1059:8010:ted smith,081347:/u3/ths:/bin/tcsh

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment16 UNIX Prompts l Host name prefixed to prompt to identify "current" host: è host% è mode:~>

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment17 UNIX Command Line l Syntax command [options] filename... cp -i /etc/passwd passwd l lowercase l options preceded with a - (minus) l spaces are important

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment18 UNIX Command Line l To continue a command on next line use a backslash (\) grep "ldf -e rgb" /usr/tmp/ths/sub1 | sort +4 >\ ~abc/doc/for.team5 l Commands on same line separated by semicolon (;) mv passwd file.b ; cp file.b file.d

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment19 Special Keyboard Characters l (completes a command line) l ^H l ^? l (^c ^z ^d) l (or as defined by specific utility) l

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment20 Changing The Backspace l The delete key was established as the backspace/erase function by the.login file. l It can be changed interactively with the stty command: è stty erase [shift-backspace] l Displays as: è stty erase ^H l Effective only for the current session.

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment21 Changing Passwords l Change yearly l Ground Rules

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment22 Network Information Services l NIS host% passwd Changing passwd for userid Old password: New password: Retype new password: NIS passwd changed on fileserver host% l Changes /etc/passwd file

June 1, 1999UNIX - Basic Environment23 The Password File l Lists all users of the system and attributes l Available on some systems from the path: /etc/passwd l Execute the following to bring a copy into your home directory and view it: cp ~chidhkra/passwd. cat passwd
