Solaris Training : Solaris 10 Korn shell and awk Scripting

This course teaches the Solaris 10 professional (user, systems administrator, application/system programmer) the techniques needed to develop advanced shell and reporting type procedures under Solaris 10. Techniques in the major shells will be shown. All Solaris 10 platforms support the techniques in this course.

Solaris Training Prerequisites

This is an advanced Solaris 10 course. It is assumed that participants either have attended the Fundamentals of Solaris 10 course, or have equivalent experience with a Solaris 10 system.

Solaris Training Course duration

This course normally requires three (3) days, approximately 50 % lecture, and 50 % lab time.

Solaris Training Course Objectives

Each participant will be able to use Solaris 10, awk, nawk, and Korn shell commands to maintain collections of files, control usage of shell command scripts, and generate reports using the (n)awk facility.
