Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
UNIX fundamentals and command-line skills
Build a solid foundation in UNIX by learning the file system structure, navigating directories, and managing files efficiently. You'll use core commands, wildcard characters, redirection, and pipelines to perform everyday tasks and develop confidence working in the command-line environment.
File editing and text processing
Master file editing with vi/Vim and improve productivity using command history features in the Bash and Korn shells. You'll also learn to search, replace, and manipulate text using regular expressions, grep, and sed for efficient file management.
Shell scripting and task automation
Develop practical shell scripts using variables, conditional statements, loops, and user input. Through hands-on exercises, you'll automate routine tasks, process data, and create scripts that improve efficiency and reduce manual effort.
Advanced scripting and reusable code
Enhance your scripting skills with functions, menu-driven programs, and multi-branch logic using case and select statements. You'll also work with AWK for data processing and implement signal handling to create reliable, maintainable, and production-ready shell scripts.
