This self paced self study guide on UNIX is available free online and you can print it out for your personal use.

Course Objectives
By the end of this module, you should be able to

• use a number of basic UNIX commands (using LINUX)
• write shell scripts and command files
• use an editor and email
• use the csh to write shell scripts
• learn awk and write awk programs
• understand about system calls and sockets

Work through each of the sections at your own pace. Try to spend an hour a day reading the material, and doing any exercises involved. The entire course takes about 100 hours of work. Try these assignments during the course.

To do the exercises, such as writing shell scripts and using awk will require access to a UNIX system. We currently do not provide this service. We strongly recommend that you download a free copy of the Linux operating system from the Internet and install this on a computer in order to do the practical exercises. We offer no assistance in this area.
