Unix Shell Scripting

The shell is often taken as an-easy domain-specific program language. UNIX Shell Scripting is a script printed for the shell, or command line predictor of any operating scheme. 

The curriculum is designed in a way to suit your time frame. The training session is conducted in week days as well as weekends. The total time span being 40 hours. In case of opting it in the week day, you can attend sessions for 2- 3 hours at a stretch, whereas in case of the weekend the session runs for 8 hours at a stretch.

Unix Shell scripting training bears effective prospect in today’s scenario that is inclusive of the ability to:

• Writing simple scripts to enhance basic command output
• Using the various shell quoting mechanisms appropriately
• Manipulating shell variables and user-defined variables in scripts
• Implementing conditional execution facilities
• Using the shell's built-in loop constructs where appropriate
• Writing scripts to trap user interrupts
• Developing menu-driven shell scripts
• Extract data from any HTML/XML file to be used within the script
• Display values using ‘awk’ in the Shell Script
• Effectively use ‘While’, ‘Until’, or ‘For’ loops according to the need of the script
• Schedule jobs using ‘Crontab’ or ’at’
• Using  ‘if-else’ statement or ‘Nested if’ statements
• Store or assign a value of out[put to a variable
• Set or Unset any variable and run a command substitution to any variable.
   

You are introduced to real time case studies from the industry in order to understand the skill set required to become professional engaged in Shell scripting.

Our aim is to cater to the wide ranging demand and expectations in the market from anyone specialized in Shell scripting such as follows:

• Work confidently in Unix/Linux environment
• Learning the key features and fundamentals of bash scripting
• Carrying out arithmetic operations in a shell script
• Creating interactive scripts
• Incorporating different functionalities including flow control and decision making
• Understanding and implementing various functions
• Write shell scripts to automate various tasks

• Grown familiarity with different environment variables of Linux Operating Systems.
• Prepare scripts to automate common tasks in Linux system.
• Ability to create report and online report using CGI and MySQL queries.
• Guard against malicious intents against the Linux Operating System.

There is no specific requirement to be trained in Shell scripting, except for the fact that a prior knowledge of Linux environment is essential in order to get a clear hang of the command line.

The reviolutionary open source operating system which promoted cross platform standardization is based on the Unix Kernel. 
Shell Scripting is at the heart of making the operating system work.
