Where: Building 9 - Lecture Hall 2322
Description
UNIX is arguably the most ubiquitous and important operating system in scientific research, used by scientists in all fields. It is also unfamiliar to most new students and researchers, who come from a Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS background, from their use of personal computers. In this 2-day crash course (2 hours per day), we will cover the basic tools, and underlying philosophy, of the UNIX system, to get the researcher on his/her way to increased productivity with this operating system. More importantly, they will have learned enough to become confident to continue exploring it on their own, armed with knowledge of how to teach themselves more specialized and advanced topics.;;The topics to be covered include:;* User and System Information;* Process Monitoring and Management;* Using and Customizing The Shell (C-Shell);* The Filesystem, Directories, Files, Security;* Pipelines, Filters, and Manipulating Data;* Editors (Emacs)
