1. 1 Some basic Unix commands u Understand the concept of loggin into and out of a Unix shell u Interact with the system in a basic way through keyboard and terminal window u Create, copy and delete files, edit files u Understand and use commands like: ls cd mv cp rm cat date mkdir rmdir u Be able to navigate up and down in the file system

2. 2 Logging in and out u As a Unix user you can log in and out u When loggin in, the system checks your user name and password – if correct, the system starts a shell for you and places you in the starting directory u The shell runs as your process until you log out u The shell gives you a prompt and interprets what you type

3. 3 Interacting with the system u Default input from the keyboard u Default output to the terminal window  When hitting return the shell interprets what you have typed u The shell finds a command with that name and starts a process to execute the command u During this time the shell process sleeps and wakes up when the command process is done

4. 4 Working with files u Creating files –Can use vi or any editor –Can use cat with input and output redirection u Copying files –cp makes a copy of an existing file –cat can do it also, we practice this to understand I/O redirection u Deleting files: rm u Editing files we will learn about vi, the most available Unix editor other editors are available on the system as applications

5. 5 More important commands u ls lists the files in the current directory by name u cd changes your position in the directory tree u mv moves a file from one directory to another u rm deletes a file u date prints the current date and time u mkdir creates a directory u rmdir deletes a directory (must be empty)‏ u All Unix commands have options

6. 6 Navigating in the directory tree u The cd command changes your position in the directory tree, destination is parameter, it must be the name of a directory visible in the current directory –cd without parameter –Relative movement (relative pathname)‏ –Absolute movement (absolute pathname)‏ –cd.. and cd.

7. 7 To Make a Good Password u A good password –Easily remembered by YOU –Difficult to be guessed by others u Tricks to make a good password –Pick letters from a sentence v I love Unix  Ioenx –Pick letters, numbers, and symbols that sound, look like, or replace a phrase v I hate carrots!  ih8^s! u A bad password not only harms you –Attacks are much easier with a compromised account on a computer

11. 11 Some Basic Commands u man: See the manual page of a command. terra$ man cat Reformatting page. Wait... Done User Commands cat(1) NAME cat - concatenate and display files SYNOPSIS cat [ -nbsuvet ] [ file... ] DESCRIPTION cat reads each file in sequence and writes it on the stan- dard output. Thus: example% cat file prints file on your terminal, and: example% cat file1 file2 >file3 concatenates file1 and file2, and writes the results in file3. If no input file is given, cat reads from the stan- dard input file. OPTIONS--More--(11%)
