Objectives of the course:

 To introduce the concepts of Unix Operating system & its architecture. Syllabus
covers various commands and shell programming as well.
Course outcomes:

Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to,

CO1: Choose appropriate commands to make efficient use of the environment
to solve problems.
CO2: Students will be able to understand and implement the various Unix
command.
CO3: Identify and use UNIX/Linux utilities to create and manage file processing
operations, organize file and directory structures with appropriate security.
CO4: Students will be able to write shell scripts to perform repetitive tasks
using while and for loops and design conditional statements to control the
execution of shell scripts.
CO5: Design and implement shell functions and able to describe the inner
workings of UNIX-like operating systems.

8 Introduction to Shell Script & different editors such as vi and gedit. 2
9 Write a shell script to print Hello World. 1
10 Write a shell script to given more than one command line 1
arguments and print the total number of arguments along with
their values.
11 Write a script that finds area of a triangle for a specified base and 1
height.
12 Write a script that works like a calculator, where the user enter 3 2
arguments with 2 operands and an operator using IF-ELSE.
13 Write a shell script that displays a list of menu to the user and the 2
user selects a choice from the list and the shell executes
accordingly using SWITCH CASE.

Menu :
1. List all the files
2. Print today’s date
3. Print the users of the system
4. Display the present working directory
14 One military camp has set up near Jhelum riverbank in Punjab. Due 2
to less network coverage, soldiers are keeping walky-talky device
for communication. This device is having one special feature. It has
small operating system which repeats the said command five
times. To facilitate a walky-talky device with this feature, write a
shell script, which takes a word as command line input and prints
the word five times on new line using FOR LOOP.
15 Write a shell script to find the factorial of a given number using 1
WHILE LOOP.
16 A server administrator has details of downloaded data per login id. 2
These details are kept in one text file having following structure.

Detail.txt

Login_id | IP Address | Downloaded data

size
Arun |100.120.11.1| 500 KB
Mayank |100.120.11.2| 50 KB
Jignesh |100.120.11.3| 605 KB
Aajali |100.120.11.4| 489 KB
Pooja |100.120.11.5| 66 KB

Write a shell script which searches downloading details of a

person having login id = “Jignesh”. If login id is present then
redirect the contents into a text file and print message on terminal
that the user is valid else user is invalid. (Use suitable command
for it.)
17 Jimmy is a beginner in C language. He is learning C language for his 2
curiosity. One day he has written his first C program in capital
letters. While execution he was getting errors and then he came to
 know that C language is a case sensitive language. Now, he has to
convert his program from uppercase to lowercase. For helping
Jimmy, write a shell script which does this conversion for him on
following input file.(If possible do vice versa)

File Name 1.c

Contents VOID MAIN( )
{
PRINTF (“HELLO ALL”);
PRINTF(“MY FIRST C PROGRAM”);
}

Record the output in a new text file.
