What is Linux?

A Unix-like operating system created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Uses the GNU set of tools developed by Richard Stallman. Free and Open source under the GPL license. Not just a product but a collection of products.

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Why use the Command-Line?

Fast. Efficient. Powerful. Scripting language. Remote access. Almost Anything you can do in the GUI, you can do on the command line:

Listen to music. Read email. Browse the web. Watch movies (kinda: towel.blinkenlights.nl).

slide-34
SLIDE 34

The Filesystem

One root to rule them all

slide-35
SLIDE 35

The Filesystem

Different devices, same root

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Absolute vs Relative Paths

Absolute vs Relative Absolute Starting from the root (/). Relative Starting from your working directory. Special Paths . The current directory. .. The parent of the current directory. On Linux, everything is case sensitive!

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Absolute vs Relative Paths

An Example

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Getting Around

Shortcuts

Shortcuts ${HOME} Your home directory. ∼ Your home directory. ∼mhavas My home directory.

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Getting Around

Commands ls List contents of directory. cd Change directory. pwd Print working/current directory. Tab-completion is your friend

slide-40
SLIDE 40

File and Directory Management

Commans touch file Creates a file called file. mkdir dir Creates a directory dir. rm file Remove a file. rmdir dir Remove an empty directory dir. cp src dst Copies file from src to dst. mv src dst Moves file/dir from src to dst. du file Prints size of file in bytes. file file Prints what type of file file is. ln file link Creates a hard or soft link between file and link.

slide-41
SLIDE 41

File and Directory Management

Useful Options

Commands mkdir -p path Creates all directories if they do not exist in path. rm -r dir Removes all files and directories in dir including dir cp -a srcdir dstdir Copies directory and contents from srcdir to dstdir. ls -l Same as ls but gives more information. du -hs dir Prints size of directory and all contents in human-readable format. Getting Help For useful options and detailed help for almost any program, you can look at the manual for that specific command using: man command.

slide-42
SLIDE 42

File and Directory Management

Links

Soft Links Command: ln -s file link Creates a named link between file and link. Hard Links Command: ln file link Creates a physical link between file and link. Deletion is handled differently

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Globbing

Allows you to select many items at once. * Match anything at any length. ? Match one character. [ab] Match characters a or b. {blah,foo} Match words blah or foo. ˆglob Match anything but glob.

Finding Files

Finding Files

Find files using locate locate word Find file or directory that has word in it. Fast but only search a database. Database is refreshed once a day using updatedb Find files using find find path -iname “*word*” Finds files and directories recursively starting in path path that have word in their filename. Very useful command and has lots and lots of options.

slide-55
SLIDE 55

Finding Files

Useful arguments to find

More on the find command find . -type d Find all directories under the current directory. find . -type f Find all files under the current directory. find . -mtime 1 Find that were created in the past 24 hours. find . -daystart -mtime +0 -mtime -3 Find files created between yesterday and the day before. find . -size -5k Find files less than 5 kilobytes. Operating on found files find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; Find all directories under the current directory and execute chmod 755 on them. find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; Find all files under the current directory and execute chmod 755 on them.

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Finding Files

Finding Programs

The path environment variable path tells the shell where to look for files. You can execute a program in your path by typing ’program’. Programs not in your path must include the program’s path. For example, /aos/shared/bin/matlab You can see your path by issuing env $PATH Searching through your path which program Will show the location of the first program named program in your path. which -a program Will show all programs names program in your path. Note that only the first will run if you type program. whereis program Will search for a program’s binary, source and help in their standard locations.

Changing Ownership

Commands for changing ownership chown user file Change the ownership of file to user. chgrp group file Change the group ownership of file to group. chown user:group file Change the ownership of file to user user and group group. Both commands can take a -R argument to apply the change recursively.
