Cuesys Infotech :: Consulting | Corporate Training

The UNIX training course introduces the delegate to the main concepts of the UNIX Operating System. The most commonly used unix commands and utilities are described in detail as are the command line wildcard and redirection facilities. The mechanisms by which a user acquires a login environment are discussed and the main features of the Korn/Posix/Bash Shells are introduced.

An understanding of and exposure to information technology is advantageous
Experience of IT and an understanding of operating systems are required

UNIX workshop is suitable for anyone who needs to understand and use the UNIX Operating System.

By attending UNIX workshop, Participants will learn:

Creating, copying, renaming, moving and deleting files and directories
Using the shell’s redirection and pipe facilities
Editing text files using the vi editor
Setting and changing access permissions on files
Monitoring and controlling their own processes
Using the basic file and text searching utilities
Customizing their own login environment
