$cmp partaa partab partaa partab differ: byte 1, line 1

File Comparison $comm

Compares files, displays what is common Requires sorted files as input

sample1 moonplanet

sun

sample2 moonstar

$comm sample1 sample2 moon

planet star

sun

sample1 moonplanet

sun

sample2 moonstartree

$diff sample1 sample22,3c2,3< planet< sun---> star> tree

File Permissions $ ls -l sample1

-rw-r--r-- 1 deepti deepti 16 2010-02-03 12:54 sample1

First column indicates file permissions: Read (r) Write (w) Execute (x)

Permissions assigned to: User (u) Group (g) Others (o)

Using chmod to change file permissions

Use chmod command to change file permissions

$chmod u+x sample1 #Assign execute permission to user

$chmod g+w sample1 #Assign write permission to group

$chmod a+rw sample1 #Assign read-write permission to all

$chmod a=r sample1 #Keep only read permission for all

$chmod 777 sample1 #Assign rwx permission for all

Objective To understand:

What is vi editor? Modes of vi editor vi editor commands

Adding Text in vi Cutting and Pasting in vi Moving around text in vi Saving and Quitting vi

vi Editor

Screen-based editor for Unix Invoke using

vi filename

vi modes

Input Mode Lets you type text into your

document. Command Mode

Lets you enter vi commands Last Line Mode

Lets you enter commands that appear on the bottom line of the screen

vi Modes

Adding Text in vi a Add text after the cursor. A Add text to the end of the current line. i Insert text at the cursor. I Insert text at the beginning of the current line. o Open a new line below the current line and

add text. O Open a new line above the current line and

add text. s Substitute the letter underneath the cursor

with letter you type, and insert text. S or c Delete the current line and substitute it

with text you type. R or C Replace current text with text you type.

Cutting and Pasting Text in vi

x Delete the letter beneath the cursor. dw Delete the letter beneath the cursor and the rest of the word. #dw Delete the following number of words, including the current

word. D Delete from the cursor to the end of the line. dd Delete the current line. #dd Delete the following number of lines, including the current

line. yy Copy or "yank" the current line. #yy Copy or "yank" the following number of lines, including the

current line. p Paste the current copied or deleted letters, words, or lines after

the cursor. J Join the next line with the current line (erases a carriage return). u Undo the last edit. . Redo the last editing command.

Moving Around in a vi Text File

j Move down to the next line. k Move up to the previous line. h Move backward by letter. l Move forward by letter. w Move forward by word. b Move backward by word. e Move forward to the end of a word.

Pattern Search /word Search for specified word in

forward direction. ?word Search for specified word

on backward direction. n Search for next occurrence of

specified word. N Search for previous occurrence

of specified word.

Saving and Quitting vi

:wq Save and quit out of the file :w Save the current file without

quitting :q Quit if no edits have occurred :q! Quit without saving edits

(Shell Programming)Basics Commands of Shell Programming

Conducted by Abhishek Singh Verma

30

Objective To understand Shell

Programming concepts: Linux Kernel Linux Shell Shell Script User-Defined Variables Test Condition

Linux Kernel

Heart of Linux OS Acts as an

intermediary between the computer hardware and various programs/application/ shell.

Linux Shell Shell is a command language

interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input device (keyboard) or from a file.

Types of shells: Bash C-Shell Ksh

$ echo $SHELL

Shell Script

A series of command written in plain text file

Just like a batch file in MS-DOS

Running a Shell Script

Write a shell script – vi editor Assign execute permission to it

chmod u+x test.sh Execute it

./test.sh

User Defined Variables

Syntax Variable=Value

Example count=2 name=ritu

echo $count

Numeric Comparison: test $ x=5; y=7

$ test $x –lt $y; echo $?0

Operators:

-eq is equal to

-ne is not equal to

-lt is less than

-le is less than or equal to

-gt is greater than

-geis greater than or equal to

37

Objective To understand Shell

Programming concepts: User-Defined Variables Shell Arithmetic Read statement Command line arguments Test condition if condition if..then..else Multilevel if..then..else For loop

User Defined Variables

Syntax Variable=Value

Example count=2 name=ritu

echo $count

Exercises – 1 Q.1. Define variable x with value 10 and print

it on screen. Q.2. Define variable xn with value John and

print it on screen Q.3. Print sum of two numbers, let's say 6

and 3? Q.4. Define two variable x=20, y=5 and then

to print division of x and y (i.e. x/y) Q.5. Modify above and store division of x and

y to variable called z

Shell Arithmetic

Syntax: expr operand1 operator operand2

Examples: $ expr 1 + 3 $ expr 2 – 1

Exercises – 2

Try the following. What do you observe? $ expr 10 / 2 $ expr 20 % 3 $ expr 10 \* 3 $ echo `expr 6 + 3`

Read statement Use to get input (data from user)

from keyboard and store (data) to variable.

Syntax: read variable1, variable2,...variableN

Example:echo “Please enter your name"read nameecho "Hello $name, how are you?"

Command Line Arguments $# holds number of arguments

specified on command line And $* or $@ refer to all arguments

passed to script Example:

sh test.sh hello world test.sh -> $0 hello -> $1 world -> $2

Exercises – 3 Try the following: test.sh

echo "Total number of command line argument are $#“echo "$0 is script name“echo "$1 is first argument“echo "$2 is second argument"

What happens when you say $1=5 in the shell scipt?

Numeric Comparison: test $ x=5; y=7

$ test $x –lt $y; echo $?0

Operators:

-eq is equal to

-ne is not equal to

-lt is less than

-le is less than or equal to

-gt is greater than

-geis greater than or equal to

True/False in Linux Shell

Usually, True -> 1 [Non-Zero value] False -> 0

But in Linux Shell, True -> 0 False -> 1 [Non-Zero value]

Decision Making: if condition Syntax:

if condition then statement(s) fi Example:

if cat $1 then echo “cat command was successful” fi test.sh myfile

if..then..else

Syntax:if condition

then statement(s)

else statement(s)

fi

Multilevel if..then..else Syntax:

if condition then statement(s)

elif condition then

statement(s)elif condition then

statement(s)else

statement(s)fi

For Loopfor { variable name } in { list } do

Statements

done

Example:for i in 1 2 3 4 5do

echo "Welcome $i times"done

Output:Welcome 1 timesWelcome 2 timesWelcome 3 timesWelcome 4 timesWelcome 5 times

For loop Example:

for (( i = 0 ; i <= 5; i++ ))do echo "Welcome $i times"done

Output:Welcome 0 timesWelcome 1 timesWelcome 2 timesWelcome 3 timesWelcome 4 timesWelcome 5 times

Exercises – 4

Using for loop, do the following: Q1. Print multiplication table for a given

number Q2. Generate following pattern:

1 1 1 1 12 2 2 2 23 3 3 3 34 4 4 4 45 5 5 5 5
