The Basic Knowledge
Unix/Linux systems are multi-user and multi-tasking l Have multiple users on the same system l Run multiple programs, seemingly simultaneously l Maintain permissions that determine which users have access to whick files and programs l Regulate the amount of disk space each user can use l Store user-specific settings in “hidden” file |
Logging In
l When you first connect to one of the Unix computers you will see the prompt: l Login: At the login : prompt, type in your username Password Once you have typed in your username you will be prompted to type in your password |
Initialization Files
When you log in the Unix/Linux login program finally, starts up a command “shell”
Users do not deal with the operating system directly. Most of your interaction with a Unix system takes place in a shell, a program that is run every time you log in, and displays the “$” prompt. The shell is known as command interpreter, you give it commands, and it runs them. |
Shell

l Bourne Shell |
l Ksh |

Using the System
Finally you are logged in! You will see a prompt like one of the following: $/# Just waiting fo you to type something. We will user $ to indicate the computer’s “ready” prompt.
Okey, let’s try a simple command. |
ls
ls is the program to list files in a directory. Just plain ls won’t list hidden files(files whose names start with ``.’’, like .login). Now try typing: ls -a |
pwd(print working directory)
To find out which directory you are in, type: pwd This will show you the full path to your current working directory, relative to the root directory(/). |
Rm(remove files or directories)
The command rm file will remove the specified file. Some useful options for rm include rm -i ( interactive mode - you will be prompted to comfirm file deletion) rm -f ( force remove - overrides interactive mode and removes file without a prompt) rm -r (recursive - remove the contents of directories recursively) |
cp(copy files and directories)
To copy a file, do: cp oldfilename newfilename
Or to copy a file to a new directory, while keeping the old filename do: cp filename /directoryname/
To ensure your don’t overwrite any existing files you can use the ‘-i’ option: cp -i oldfilename newfilename
This command will prompt you to confirm if there is already a file with the name newfilename. |
mv (move files)
This command allows you to rename a file as in: mv oldfilename newfilename Or to move a file to a new directory: mv filename directoryname/ As with cp, it is a good idea to use the ‘-i’ option with mv, so you don’t mistakenly overwrite your existing files. |
The special directory
You may have noticed when you typed ls –a that there were listings dot(.) and dot-dot(..). These represent your current working directory(.) and it’s parent directory(..). For example , typing cd .. cd . cp /vol/examples/ tutorial/science.txt . cd ~ will always bring you back to your home directory. cd ~/homework will bring you to the ‘homework’ directory.
The character * is called a wildcard and will match against none of more character(s) in a file or directory name. For example, if you type ls *h You should get a list of all files and directories starting with the letter h.
Similarly if you type: ls *.cpp
The ? character is similar to the * character, except that ? will match exactly one character, For example: ls ?an will match ‘man’ but not ‘stan’! |
Display the contents of a file on the screen
clear (clear screen)
Before you start the next section, you may like to clear the terminal window of the previous commands so the output of the following commands can be clearly understood. At the prompt, type clear This will clear all text and leave you with the % prompt at the top of the window. |
cat (concatenate)
The command cat can be used to display the contents of a file on the screen. Type: cat science.txt |
as you can see, the file is longer than the size of the window, so it scrolls past making it unreadable.
less
The command less writes the contents of a file noto the screen a page at a time, type: less science.txt Press the [space-bar] if you want to see another page, type [q] if you want to quit reading. |
head
The head command writes the first ten lines of a file to the screen. First clear the screen then type head science.txt |
tail
the tail command writes the last ten lines of a file to the screen. Clear the screen and type: tail science.txt |
Searching the contents of a file
Simple searching using less
Using less, you can search though a text file for a keyword(pattern). For example, to search through science.txt for the word ‘science’, type less science.txt Then still in less(i.e. don’t press [q] to quit), type a forward slash [/] followed by the word to search. As you can see, less finds and highlights the keyword. Type [n] to search for the next occurrence of the word. |
grep
It searches files for specified words or patterns. First clear the screen, then type grep science science.txt As you can see, grep has printed out each line containing the word science.
Try typing grep Science science.txt The grep commands is case sensitive; It distinguishes between Science and science.
To ignore upper/lower case distinctions, use the -i option, i.e. Type grep -i science science.txt
To search for a pharse or pattern, you must enclose it in single quotes. For example to search for spinning top. Type grep -i ‘spinning top’ science.txt
Some of the other options of grep are:
Don’t Forget , you can use more than one option at a time, for example, the number of lines without the words science of Science is: grep -ivc science science.txt |
wc (word count)
A handy little utility is the wc command, short for word count. To do a word count on science.txt, type wc -w science.txt To find out how many lines the file has, type wc -l science.txt |
Redirecting the output
We use the > symbol to redirect the output of a command. For example, to create a file called list 1 containing a list of fruit, type cat > list1 The type in names of some fruit. Press [Return] after each one. Pear Banana Apple ^D(Control D to stop)
What happens is the cat command reads the standard input (the keyboard) and the > redirects the output, which normally goes to the screen, into a file called list1
To read the contents of the file, type cat list1
The form >> appends standard ouput to a file, So to add more items to the file list1, type cat >> list1 Then type in names of more fruit Peach Grape Orange ^D(Control D to stop) To read the contents of the file, type cat list1
Create another file called list2 containing the following fruit: orange, plum, mango,grapefruit.
We will now use the cat command to join (concatenate ) list1 and list2 into a new file called biglist. Type cat list1 list2 > biglist
What this is doing is reading the contents of list1 and list2 in turn, then outputing the next to the file biglist
To read the contents of the new file, type cat biglist |
File system security
In your unix stuff directory, type ls -l (l for long listing!)
You will see that you now get lots of details about the contents of your directory, similar to the example below.
Each file(and directory) has associated access rights, which may be found by typing ls -l
In the left-hand column is a 10 symbol string consisting of the symbols d,r,w,x,-. If d is present , it will be at the left hand end of the string, and indicates a directory: otherwise - will be the starting symbol of the string.
The 9 remaining symbols indicate the permissions for the user that owns the file( or directory)
The middle group gives the permissions for the group of people to whom the file(or directory) belongs.
The rightmost group gives the permissions for all others.
For examples -rwxrwxrwx a file that everyone can read, write and execute (and delete). -rw------- a file that only the owner can read and write: no-one else can read or write and no-noe has execution rights(e.g. Your mailbox file). |
Change access right
Chmod (changing a file mode)
Only the owner of a file can use chmod to change the permissions of a file, the options of chmod are as follows:
u |
user |
g |
group |
o |
other |
a |
all |
r |
read |
w |
write(and delete) |
x |
execute(and access directory) |
+ |
add permission |
- |
take away permission |
For example, to remove read write and execute permissions on the file biglist for the group and others, type Chmod go-rwx biglist
This will leave the other permissions unaffected. To give read and write permissions on the file biglist to all Chmod a+rw biglist
|
The protection bits
u |
g |
o |
rw+ |
r-- |
--- |
6 |
4 |
0 |
The file has “mode” 640. The first bits, set to “r+w”(4+2) in our example, specify the protection for the user who owns the files(u). The user who owns the file can read or write(which includes delete) the file.
The next trio of bits, set to 4, or “r” in our example, specify access to the file for other users in the same group as the group of the file.
Finally, all other users are given no access to the file. |
Process
A process is an executing program identified by a unique PID(process identifier). To see information about your processes, with their associated PID and status, type Ps To kill off the process, type Kill PID_number And then type ps again to see if it has been removed from the list. |
Other command
find . -name “circle.h” -print who am i which which finger date history 3 |
Text Editor
vi
The vi editor has powerful features to aid programmers. The vi editor has two modes: command and insert. The command mode allows the entry of commands to manipulate text. The insert mode puts anything typed on the keyboard into the current file. Vi initially starts in command mode. |
Open a file in vi by typing either of :
Vi filename(opens specified file) here are some basic vi commands:
Command mode
i, a |
Enter insert mode |
:w |
Save the file without exiting |
:q! |
Quit without saving |
:wq |
Quit and save |
:x, ZZ |
Quit and save the file |
dd |
Delete the line where the cursor is located |
x |
Delete the character |
Set number |
Set the line number |
Set nonumber |
Cancel line number |
ESC |
Enter command mode |
Unix Shell
The kernel
the kernel of UNIX is the hub of the operating system: it allocates time and memory to programs and handles the filestore and communications in response to system calls. |
The Shell
The shell acts as an interface between the user and the kernel. When a user logs in, the login program checks the username and password, and then starts another program called the shell.
The shell is a command line interpreter(CLI), it interprets the commands the user types in and arranges for them to be carried out. The commands are themselves programs: when they terminate, the shell gives the user another prompt(% on our system).
As an illustration of the way that the shell and the kernel work together, suppose a user types rm myfiles(which has the effect of removing the file myfile).
The shell searches the filestore for the file containing the program rm, and then requests the kernel, through system calls, to execute the program rm on myfile.
When the process rm myfile has finished running, the shell then returns the UNIX prompt % to the user, indicating that it is waiting for further commands. |
Bash
For our first shell script, we’ll just write a script which says “Hello World”.
Create a file(firsh.sh) as follows: firsh.sh
#!/bin/bash #This is a comment! echo Hello World # this is comment, too!
The first line tells Unix that file is to be executed by /bin/bash.
The second line begins with a special symbol:#. This marks the line as a comment, and it is ignored completely by the shell.
The third line runs a command : echo, with two parameters, or arguments - the first is “Hello”; the second is “World”.
The # symbol still marks a comment; the # and anything following it is ignored by the shell.
Now run chmod 755 first.sh to make the text file executable, and run ./first.sh.
Your screen should then look like this: % chmod 755 first.sh % ./first.sh Hello World %
You could even just run: % echo Hello World Hello World % |
Variable
There must be no spaces around the “=” sign: VAR=value works; VAR = value doesn’t work.
var.sh #!/bin/bash MY_MESSAGE=”hello world” Echo $MY_MESSAGE |
Markfile
To simplify compiling your code, we will be using a Makefile to compile our code.
Make is a UNIX program that helps programmers efficiently build projects.
For example: $make $make clean $make install |
