GTU OS Program - 12 UNIX shell & Environment variables

12. Study of Unix Shell and Environment Variables.

A shell provides us with an interface to the unix system. It takes input from us and executes programs based on that input.
Shell is an environment where we can run our commands, programs and shell scripts. There are different types of Shell as there are different types of operating systems.

Shell Prompt

The prompt $ which is called the command prompt, is issued by the shell. While the prompt is displayed, you can type a command.

Types of shells

Bourne shell

In this type of shell the $ character is the default prompt.

Subcategories of Bourne shell

  • Bourne shell (sh)
  • Korn shell (ksh)
  • Bourne Again shell (bash)
  • POSIX shell (sh)

C shell

In this type of shell the % character is the default prompt.

Sub categories of C-type shell

  • C Shell (csh)
  • TENEX/TOPS C shell (tcsh)

Environment Variables

Environment Variables are variables that are set up in your shell when you login. They are called "environment Variables" because most of them affect the way your UNIX shell works for you.

Environment Variables allows us to customize how the system works and the behavior of the applications of the system.

How to see Environment Variables in ubuntu?

printenv is used to display environment variables in ubuntu. 
tkanu025@hp:~$ printenv

you will get the output like the one below

  • SHELL - The path of the current user's shell such as bash or zsh.
  • LOGNAME - the name of the current user

11). Write a program that generate 6*6 two-dimensional matrix, filled with 0’s and 1’s , display the matrix, check every raw and column have an odd number of 1’s. class Program_11 { public static void main(String[] args) { // creating a 6X6 matrix int[][] matrix = new int[6][6]; for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) { matrix[i][j] = (int) (Math.random() * 2); System.out.print(matrix[i][j] + " "); } System.out.println(); } // Display whether every row and columns have odd number of 1s System.out.println("Envery row" + (isRowsOdd1s(matrix) ? " " : " does not " + "have an odd number of 1s")); System.out.println("Envery row" + (isColumnOdd1s(matrix) ? " " : " does not " + "have an odd number of 1s")); }

7 ideas to prepare your Mini Project for Operating System (3140702) as a beginner using shell script. Application of Shell scripts First of all you should know some of the main applications of shell scripts, and what you can do using shell scripts. So with shell script you can do things like - Automating the code compiling process Monitoring a System Completing batch Executing routine Backups Running a program or creating a program environment Manipulating files Linking existing programs together Mini Project Ideas for Operating System 1. Unit Converter It will be a menu driven program that will convert a given input into required unit, based on our choices. For example Conversion of - temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, Height from feet to inches Area from square meter to square centimeter etc. you can add different units as per your interest. 2. Binary To Decimal and Decimal to Binary Converter In this user will c
