UNIX
is a true
multitasking
operating
system.
Its portability,
reliability
and efficiency
has helped
it and
various
flavours
of it,
become
widely
used for
a range
of applications.

thorough
introduction
to the
Unix operating
system
together
with an
in-depth
knowledge
of the
utilities

The course
is suitable
for any
variant
of Unix
and the
Linux
platform
is used

delivery.
Reference
is made
to both
the Korn
and the
Bash shell
as the
scripting
environment.
