Introduction to Shell Scripting With sh/ksh

This course builds on the Introduction to UNIX courses. Familiarity with basic login procedures, filenames and pathnames, I/O redirection, and common UNIX command line tools will be assumed. The bourne (sh) and korn (ksh) shells are used as the target scripting language. Differences and similarities between the various shells and other scripting languages such as perl will be discussed. Internal control flow and variable manipulation, and use of the most common external commands (grep, sed, awk, ls) inside of scripts will be covered.

People who are using UNIX applications and need to automate repetitive actions will find this course useful.
