About HP-UX Posix Shell Programming

HP-UX Posix Shell Programming Course Overview
This Hewlett Packard HP-UX Posix Shell Programming training course is designed to give delegates practical experience in developing and writing shell scripts.  Most of the built-in shell commands are introduced together with the main program control structures.

The course also gives practical experience using a range of HP-UX tools to manipulate text and incorporate into HP-UX shell scripts.

Skills Gained
The delegates will practise:
  • Writing simple scripts to enhance basic command output
  • Using the various shell quoting mechanisms appropriately
  • Manipulating shell variables and user-defined variables in scripts
  • Implementing conditional execution facilities
  • Using the shell's built-in loop constructs where appropriate
  • Writing scripts to trap user interrupts
  • User defined Functions
  • Developing menu-driven shell scripts
  • Backing up and restoring files
  • Scheduling background jobs using cron and at
  • Using file comparison utilities
  • Using the head and tail utilities
  • Using the cut and paste utilities
  • Using split and csplit
  • Identifying and translating characters
  • Sorting files
  • Using regular expressions
  • Translating characters in a file
  • Selecting text from files with the grep family of commands
  • Editing text files with sed
  • Creating programs with awk

Who will the Course Benefit?
Programmers, developers and system administrators who need to construct shell scripts using advanced text handling facilities.

The HP-UX Posix Shell Programming course assumes knowledge of the HP-UX Operating System to the level covered in the HP-UX Introduction course. Some programming experience may also prove advantageous.

Course Objectives
To provide the skills needed to develop and customise shell programs and to make effective use of a wide range of standard HP-UX programming and development tools.

Note:
This 5-day HP-UX Posix Shell Programming course combines the HP-UX Shell Programming and HP-UX Advanced Shell Programming Tools courses.  If the dates allocated to this 5-day course are not suitable, then this course can also be booked by selecting dates from both the HP-UX Shell Programming and the HP-UX Advanced Shell Programming Tools courses.  The Shell Programming course should be attended first and may start on either a Monday or a Thursday.
