Solaris Utilities and Shell Programming
This three-day course provides a follow-on
from the Introduction to Solaris
course for power users and administrators who wish to learn more of the
general purpose Solaris/UNIX utilities, and be able to automate tasks
by
writing shell scripts using the Bourne, Korn and Bash shells. This
course not only teaches you the utilities and programming skills, but
also provides many examples of useful shell scripts. A further
important
aspect is that you will be able to readily interpret existing scripts.
This course, combined with the Solaris
Introduction course
(course code SI), provides preparation for the new Sun Certified
Solaris Associate (SCSAS) CX-310-105 exam. Further courses lead to
administrator certifications; for full details click here:

OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
To train those who know a little Unix more
of the "nuts and bolts" of Solaris so that they will make good power
users, and have the tools at their command to become excellent
administrators and applications support technicians.

INTENSITY: About 30% of the course is
practicals, and 60% lectures.
RESOURCE: Each student will have
exclusive use of a Sun workstation for the duration of the course. Each
student will be provided with a full set of training notes relating to
the course, and quick reference cards to assist with file editing and
Unix commands
Printer(s) are provided on this course so
that students can learn how to use them, and also take away printed
copies of their work.
Tape drives are provided for each student
for use during archiving exercises.
PREREQUISITES: Experience of Solaris
or UNIX similar to the level covered in our Introduction to Solaris course.
FOLLOW UPS: We offer a comprehensive
range of Solaris 10 Systems Administration courses right up to Advanced
levels. (see Solaris 10 System Administration (Part 1) for the
first of these). For those involved in administrating networks, our Solaris 10 Network Administration course would be
ideal, and leads to the Solaris Certified Network Administrator
CX-310-302 exam.
Those who need to tackle more advanced data
manipulation and scripting techniques should also consider our range of
Perl Programming courses. Sheets describing each
of our courses, and current schedules, are available on request.
This course is part of a program which can
lead you to Solaris
Certification
PRACTICALS / TAKEAWAYS: Each student
leaves the course with their own set of training notes for the material
covered; around 120 pages per day of training.
| Every student who attends this course
will be issued with a signed certificate of course completion, which we
will be happy to "authenticate" upon future request. |
| On this course, we hand out a number
of quick reference sheets to each student on subjects such as vi and
Unix commands. |
|
Students on this course can print out their work
and take it away with them.
|
SOFTWARE VERSIONS: Covers Solaris
running on both Sun and Intel hardware. More than 90% of the material
is
also applicable to other versions of Unix and our tutors will be able
to
advise which features are Solaris-specific as they present the course.
COURSE PROFILES: During the course,
the student will learn from many practical examples written for this
course and supplied in the manual. For ease of use during and after the
course, we have provided these examples online.
