This AIX Shell Programming course is designed for IT professionals and computer programmers who are required to work on Shell programming and/or scripting. This course could be considered one of the best options for beginners who have little or no idea about Shell Programming. This AIX Shell Programming course starts from the beginning of Shell programming and takes you to the intermediate and advanced level of AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) commands. In this course, you will learn about how to navigate the AIX file systems, including the process of working with the files, directories, and access permissions, as well. You will also learn about the most widely used AIX editors, namely “vi” and “ex”. Once you learn how to work with the basic AIX commands, this course will introduce you to the advanced power tool known as POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) Korn shell. Here, you will learn how to develop complex POSIX Shell scripts with the help of built-in Unix Power tools and shell variables.
