HP-UX Fundamentals and Korn Shell Programming

Length: 5 Days                   

Prerequisite: Basic computer skills. 

Recommendation Statement:
Student should be able to use a computer monitor, keyboard, mouse. Student needs to be able to input commands and control characters from a keyboard.

Course Description: 
For those new to HP-UX, this is the first course you will take. 

The course starts at the beginner level and works into intermediate and advanced HP-UX commands and utilities. The student is introduced to the HP-UX Korn shell, the command line and command syntax. Although you will be exposed to the various windowing platforms available in HP-UX, this course teaches UNIX at “the command line level” to develop a thorough understanding of the HP-UX operating environment.

The student learns how to navigate the HP-UX file systems and how to work with files, directories and permissions. The student will learn how to use the HP-UX editors “ex” and “vi. “  Once the student is comfortable with basic HP-UX commands, they’ll move onto advanced power tools as well as how to customize the POSIX Korn shell. The student will learn how to combine shell variables, shell built-ins and UNIX power tools to build complex POSIX (Korn) shell scripts. 

The classroom labs are run in a real-world UNIX environment, are structured to allow you to learn by doing, and are developed to simulate “real world” situations. The hands-on labs progressively build your HP-UX knowledge and command skills in a clear and concise manner. 

Working in a controlled UNIX classroom environment with an expert instructor, you will learn HP-UX concepts and commands. You will receive professional tips and techniques that will help you build your HP-UX confidence and skills.

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Understand UNIX terminology, multiuser processes, and operating system structure
• Master UNIX commands and operations
• Learn UNIX file and directory management
• Learn to use UNIX editors ex and vi
• Use the Common Desktop Environment tools (CDE), X-windows and the GNome window system
• Work with UNIX permissions
• Customize the shell environment
• Use UNIX network utilities
• Use UNIX power tools to process data and files Interpret and write complex shell scripts
• Read, write, and debug scripts
• Use local and environmental variables and shell metacharacters in scripts
• Use regular expression characters with the grep, sed, and awk utilities
• Write sed scripts to perform non-interactive editing tasks
• Write awk scripts to manipulate individual fields within a record and to write reports based upon an input file
• Use the exit status of a command to determine if the command succeeded or failed
• Access and process command-line arguments passed into a script
• Develop messages to display when a script is used incorrectly
• Use flow control constructs, such as branching and looping
• Perform string manipulation and integer arithmetic on shell variables
