PREFACE
• This training will be divided in 5 major sections. I will publish video tutorial for this training
on different video platforms. I would suggest to go through one chapter each day, it will
help you to complete this training in one month.
• You can send me your suggestions to [email protected]
UNIX TRAINING - ANKIT MEHTA |
SECTIONS
• Part 1 : Unix Basics
• In this sections you will learn about basic commands and different flavors of UNIX.
• Part 2: Networking
• This section consists of networking commands and network configurations on UNIX
platforms
• Part 3: System Administrations
• This section will give you details about the commands to administrate the system
• Part 4: Network Administration
• This section will help you to administrate the network
• Part 5: Tools and Programming
• Basic tools and programming in UNIX

PART 1
• Background of UNIX
• It is important to understand the background of UNIX operating system. Once we
understand the type, structure and different version of UNIX operating system it will
help you to work well on it.

WHAT IS UNIX?
UNIX TRAINING - ANKIT MEHTA |
• UNIX is an operating system, It’s more than 40 years but still it is being used by many companies.
• Now a days there are many flavors (types of Unix) available which basically differs in their kernel inner codes and features.
• Terms:
• Operating System: As per the definition from wikipedia
“An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function.”
But in other terms we can say Operating system acts as a bridge between user and interface.

• Kernel: As per the definition from wikipedia
“In computing, the kernel is the main component of most computer operating
systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done
at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's
resources (the communication between hardware and software components).
Usually, as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the
lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O
devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically
makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process
communication mechanisms and system calls..”
Kernel converts machine code to human language and human language to
machine code
WHY UNIX?
UNIX TRAINING - ANKIT MEHTA |
• Open Source:
• Unix provides an open source code, so one can modify code as per the requirement.
This gives flexibility to end users, programmers and system administrators to tune /
mod the system as per requirement.
• Tools and Utilities:
• Unix comes with plenty of tools and utility to work with. You will learn about
frequently used tools during next few sessions.
• Multiuser and Multi Tasking Abilities:
• Unix comes with multi user and multi tasking support.
WHY UNIX?
UNIX TRAINING - ANKIT MEHTA |
• Portability:
• Unix can be used on different environment with less or no configuration.
• Networking Support:
• Unix comes with an excellent networking support which makes it easy to use over networks.
• Protected Memory:
• If a program crashes, it does not shut down the entire machine, it only affects the part of memory the program was using when it crashed. Because of this, UNIX systems are more reliable than Macs or PCs. They can go months without rebooting. Although CMGM and PMGM are rebooted about once a week just to clean up any problems that may be hanging around.
