Connecting to a Unix/Linux system
Open up a terminal:
The “prompt”
The current directory (“path”)
The host

What exactly is a “shell”?
After logging in, Linux/Unix starts another program called the shell
The shell interprets commands the user types and manages their execution
The shell communicates with the internal part of the operating system called the kernel
The most popular shells are: tcsh, csh, korn, and bashThe differences are most times subtleFor this tutorial, we are using bash
Shell commands are CASE SENSITIVE!

File permissions
Each file in Unix/Linux has an associated permission level
This allows the user to prevent others from reading/writing/executing their files or directories
Use “ls -l filename” to find the permission level of that file
![Page 33: Some Linux Commands](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081503/568134e8550346895d9c2127/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Permission levels
“r” means “read only” permission“w” means “write” permission“x” means “execute” permission
In case of directory, “x” grants permission to list directory contents

Input/Output Redirection (“piping”)
Programs can output to other programsCalled “piping”“program_a | program_b”
program_a’s output becomes program_b’s input
“program_a > file.txt” program_a’s output is written to a file called “file.txt”
“program_a < input.txt” program_a gets its input from a file called “input.txt”
