Synopsis:

Unix-like operating systems represent a large family mostly open-source codes that kept bringing during the history of computers efficient innovative functions of multiuser operating systems for computers and their networks and clusters. The most popular OS today, Android, has a unix kernel. Students get overview of basic properties of this OS family, such as processes and threads, access rights and user identity, filters, or handling files in a file system. They learn to use practically these systems at the level of advanced users who are not only able to utilize powerful system tools that are available to users, but are also able to automatize routine agenda using the unix scripting interface, called shell.

Requirements:

Elementary GUI interaction. The ability to learn new ways of thinking.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. History and architecture of Unix-like operating systems, basic components of computer systems, secure remote access.

2. [2] Shell interface, command line processing, command executions and their parameters, special characters.

4. File systems and tools for handling files.

5. Text filters and further tools for text processing.

6. Regular expressions and their applications.

7. Text transformations, the sed and awk languages.

8. [2] Program return code, shell control constructs, arithmetic calculations, processing of script parameters.

10. Process and user identity and access rights.

11. Searching of files, compression and archiving.

12. Processes, jobs and threads, interprocess communication.

13. Shell jobs and their scheduling.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Introduction. GUI. Basic shell usage. Remote login.

2. Shell command line processing, basic commands, parameters, options, variables.

3. Command line processing, special characters, basic filters, arithmetics.

4. Shell variables, input and output, files and directory management.

5. Pipes, text processing, text filters.

6. Regular expressions, grep and sed commands.

7. Text transrormations, sed and awk filters.

8. Exit code, test command, conditions and loops.

9. Skripts, shell parameters, arithmetis calculations.

10. User and process identity, file permissions.

11. find command, data backup and compression.

12. Processes and jobs.

13. Practical test.

Study Objective:

Students gain essential knowledge about operating systems and their fundamental concepts, and become advanced users in using the standard system tools. Successful students will be ready to study operating system internal structures, OS administration, and also shell programming and programming in other scripting languages.
