This document provides an overview of the UNIX operating system and some basic UNIX commands. It discusses what UNIX is, its origins at Bell Laboratories in 1969, and some of its core functions like providing a filing system and loading/executing programs. It also covers the UNIX kernel and layers, file system structure, shells, logging in, and examples of common commands like ls, cat, more, pr, grep, passwd, who, and man.

![Unix Commands
head
“head” will display the first ten lines in the listed
files.
head [- lines] [file1 file2 ... fileN]
Any numeric option will be taken as the number
of lines to print, so head -15 frog will print the
first fifteen lines of the file frog.

![Unix Commands
tail
Like head, tail display the last ten lines in the
listed files.
tail [- lines] [file1 file2 ... fileN]
Any numeric option will be taken as the number
of lines to print, so tail -15 frog will print the last
fifteen lines of the file frog.

![Unix Commands
wc
wc (word count) simply counts the number of
words, lines, and characters in the file(s).
wc [-clw] [file1 file2 ... fileN]
The three parameters, clw, stand for
character, line, and word respectively, and tell wc
which of the three to count.

![Unix Commands
cmp
cmp compares two files.
cmp is very simple, and merely tells you where
the two files first differ.
cmp file1 [ file2]

Unix OS & Commands
- 2. Operating Systems An Operating System controls (manages) hardware and software. provides support for peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, screen, disk drives, … software applications use the OS to communicate with peripherals. The OS typically manages (starts, stops, pauses, etc) applications.
- 4. • What Is UNIX? UNIX is a computer operating system, a control program that works with users to run programs, manage resources, and communicate with other computer systems. Several people can use a UNIX computer at the same time; hence UNIX is called a multiuser system. Any of these users can also run multiple programs at the same time; hence UNIX is called multitasking. 4
- 5. Introduction to Unix Unix was born in 1969 at Bell Laboratories, a research subdivision of American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Some of the functions of the Unix operating system are: it provides a filing system (write, copy, rename, move files) it provides for the loading and executing of the user programs it provides a communication link between the computer and its accessories (input-output devices as terminals, printers, disks, etc).
- 6. UNIX Hardware is surrounded by the operating system software Operating system is called the system kernel The kernel is the core of an operating system and manages the machine’s hardware resources (including the processor and the memory), and provides and controls the way any other software component can access these resources. The kernel runs with a higher privilege than other programs. Comes with a number of user services and interfaces Shell Components of the C compiler GUI or Command Line Interface
- 7. Layers of a UNIX System Hardware Kernel System Calls Shells, ls, cp, etc. Netscape, vi, pine, etc.
- 8. 8
- 9. Simple Unix Directory Structure / usr etc local bin ... class u1 home bin home ugrad ... u2 ... var ...
- 10. Unix File System Top most directory in Unix root usr var etc rdefe Home Directory home jsmith djones data mbox, letter, prog1, prog2 jan feb file1, file2, file3, file4 save lib mbox, jandat info Directory containing all home directories x1, x2, x3, x4 file1, file2, file3, file4 10
- 11. Unix File System Home Directory Personal Directory to store files Usually the Directory Name = login ID Current Directory after successful login root usr home etc rdefe Home directories for: rdefe, jsmith and djones var jsmith djones data mbox, letter, prog1, prog2 jan feb file1, file2, file3, file4 save lib mbox, jandat info x1, x2, x3, x4 file1, file2, file3, file4 11
- 12. Introducing UNIX Shells A shell is a UNIX program that interprets the commands you enter from the keyboard 12
- 13. Choosing Your Shell Shells interpret commands and act as firstclass programming languages A default shell is associated with your account when created – Bash is the default shell in Linux A short list of some UNIX shells: Bourne Cshell Korn Bash 13
- 14. Logging in to UNIX Log in by entering username and password when UNIX system booted or connected to Enter at prompt (command-line mode) or into login box (GUI mode) You’re at the Shell prompt -- Now commands can be issued at the command prompt 14
- 15. Entering Commands To interact with UNIX, a command is entered at the command prompt UNIX is case-sensitive and most commands are typed in lower case Two categories of commands User-level: perform tasks System administration: system management 15
- 16. Unix Commands passwd : Change your password. This will let you enter a new password. Use a password that is not a real word or name and has numbers or punctuation in it. Usage: #passwd who By typing “who” you will get a list with all the people logged in at that moment. The leftmost column shows the terminal at which the person is working, the next column shows the date and the rightmost column shows the computer number (IP number). who am i This Check the current being user.It returns username that you are using. 16
- 17. Unix commands Passwd command usage: sariyer:~> passwd Changing password for dag. Old password: New passwd: Retype new passwd: sariyer:~> 17
- 18. Unix Commands man Show any UNIX command usages. “man command” shows purpose of command, its format, how to specify options and usage examples. We should use “man” to learn more about Unix commands given in this documents. Usage: #man who cal Shows calendar of the current month. Usage: #cal 18
- 19. Unix Commands The man program displays the UNIX online reference manual, called the man pages, for help purposes To exit Press “q” 19
- 20. Unix Commands 20
- 21. Unix Commands ps Show process status. “ps” show processes own by your user. “ps –ax” shows all processes currently running on your server. The output is formatted in columns. First column is process ID, second column is process status and last column is command name. 21
- 22. Unix Commands mkdir Create a new directory. “mkdir dirname” will create a new subdirectory called “dirname”. Usage: #mkdir test rmdir Create a new directory. “rmdir dirname” will remove a subdirectory “dirname”. The directory must be completely empty of files. Usage: #rmdir test 22
- 23. Unix Commands cp Copy a file. “cp src dest” will make an exact copy of file “src” , with the name “dest”. If “dest” is a subdirectory name, the command will instead copy file “src” into the subdirectory “dest” and use its original file name. mv Move (rename) a file. “mv src dest” will move file “src” to file “dest”. If “dest” is a subdirectory name, the command will instead move file into the subdirectory “dest” and use its original file name. rm Remove (delete) a file.. “rm filename” will delete “filename”. Once it is removed, there is no way to get it back! 23
- 24. Unix Commands ls List Files & Directories $ ls 198 A aa.bb.cc.dd bin datefile etc mail mbox mbox.old unix $ 24
