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

21). Write a program to create a file name 123.txt, if it does not exist. Append a new data to it if it already exist. write 150 integers created randomly into the file using Text I/O. Integers are separated by space. import java.io.*; public class Program_21 { public static void main(String[] args) { File file = new File("program_21.txt"); if (file.exists()) { System.out.println("File already exists"); System.exit(0); } try (PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(file);) { // writing 150 integers created randomly to file for (int i = 0; i < 150; i++) { output.print(((int) (Math.random() * 400) + 1) + " "); } System.out.println("File program_21.txt created Succesfully!"); } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) { System.out.println("Cannot create the file"); fnfe.printStack...

3. Write a shell script to generate marksheet of a student. Take 3 subjects, calculate and display total marks, percentage and Class obtained by the student. Make a file called marksheet.sh using vim. If you want a full guide to vim than you can check this post. tkanu025@hp:~/lab_solutions$ vim marksheet.sh When you will hit enter than it will open a window like the one below. This is an editor and Here you can write your code. Press i to enter into the insert mode Write full code there like this echo "Enter marks(out of 30) of " read -p "Subject 1: " s1 read -p "Subject 2: " s2 read -p "Subject 3: " s3 sum=`expr $s1 + $s2 + $s3` echo "Sum of marks of 3 subjects is : "$sum per=`expr $sum \* 10 / 9` echo "Percentage: "$per if [ $per -ge 60 ] then echo "you got Distinction" elif [ $per -ge 50 ] then echo "you got First class" elif [ $per -ge 40 ] then ...

1. Write a program that displays Welcome to Java, Learning Java is fun. //program that every developer loves to execute class Practical_01 { public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Welcome to Java, Learning Java is fun."); } } Output When you compile and run your program you will get the output as  Welcome to Java, Learning Java is fun. //program that every developer loves to execute This is a comment. Like most other programming language java also allows us to write comment which will not be executed while running the program. Java supports three types of comments single line comment , multiline comment s and documentation comment. Above comment is single line comment. class Practical_01 { Here, ➡ class is a keyword which declares the new class. ➡ Practical_01 is the name of class which is also known as identifier. ➡ The entire class definition, includi...
