Multi-vendor UNIX Fundamentals

Product Description

Multi-Vendor UNIX Fundamentals course will provide the delegates with transferable skills, &
- equally important
- will give them appreciation of working in a multi-vendor UNIX environment. The course concentrates on the common approach to the variants of UNIX whilst looking at some specific areas of particular systems & shells.

The platform used for practical exercises is Linux, with SSH access provided to at least one other version of UNIX, for example HP-UX.

The course explains how to use the basic facilities of a UNIX system & demystifies most of the major concepts & principles of UNIX operation. We discuss the role the shell plays in interfacing with the operating system, analyse the file system & explore file, directory & data manipulation utilities.

We also take a look at more advanced use of the shell, including a brief introduction to shell scripts (command or batch files) & how to use them to automate repetitive tasks. There is a very useful overview of simple UNIX system administration & network communication utilities.

Hands-on work (labs, demos & interactive exercises) accounts for nearly half of the course. Each lab session is carefully structured to lead you through the concepts of the preceding chapter, thereby building knowledge & confidence in using UNIX. Each delegate is assigned his/her own machine, & all machines are configured as a network.

This training may be available onsite; please contact us if you are interested.
