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

2. Logging in and out • As a Unix user you can log in and out • 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 • The shell runs as your process until you log out • The shell gives you a prompt and interprets what you type

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

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

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

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

8. Some Basic Commands • who: Who are using the system. terra$ who katchab ttyp0 Aug 11 08:47 scott tty02 Aug 10 11:01 jenny tty03 Aug 10 07:21 • who am i: Who am I. terra$ who am i katchab ttyp0 Aug 11 08:47

9. Some Basic Commands • ls: List the files under current directory terra$ ls readme cs211.2.ppt cs211.ppt.gz notes.zip cs211.1.ppt cs211.3.ppt make/ shell/ • cat: Display the content of a file terra$ cat readme Unix is easy! terra$

10. Some Basic Commands • Ctrl-c: (press <Control> and c at the same time) Interrupt the current task. terra$ cat ^c terra$ • netscape: surf the net. ONLY WHEN X is running terra$ netscape • lynx: surf the net. terra$ lynx www.yahoo.com

11. Some Basic Commands • 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%)

12. Commands covered today • File Manipulation Commands: • copy (cp), rename (mv), print (lpr), examine a file (head, more, cat), search a file (grep), delete (rm) • Miscellaneous commands • echo, date, cat • Basic File Compression – gzip, gunzip • Finding Utilities and help • which, whereis, apropos, man, info • Communicating online • Chat (write/talk) and email (pine)
