Overview
This afternoon workshop is targeted at users of the Deepthought2 and/or Juggernaut clusters with limited experience in Linux/Unix. This course will briefly cover:
- Linux/Unix shell commands
- comparison of C-shell (tcsh) and Bourne shell (bash)
- shell scripting (basic and advanced syntax)
- accessing data in various formats on Unix
While shell scripting is not real programming, many practical tasks can be accomplished using shell scripts. Worked-out examples can be used as templates for similar projects.
Prerequisites
None. This is an introductory workshop and is targeted at new users to Linux/Unix.
System Requirements
As this webinar will be offered via Zoom, you are assumed to have a system (preferably a laptop or desktop) with Zoom installed. You will likely also want to either open an interactive terminal on Deepthought2 or Juggernaut or use the file explorer and editor of the OnDemand portal.
Miscellaneous Details
While the registration deadline is 10 August 2020. we are currently limiting this workshop to 25 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, and registration will close once the workshop is full.
