- 1. LINUX
- 2. What is Linux? • An alternative to Microsoft Windows • Open source • Freely available • Reliable • More use seen in labs/scientific situations, but is seeing more popularity. • Command line based interface
- 3. Linux can be used as Server Os or as stand alone Os on our PC. As a server Os it provides different services/network resources to client.
- 4. Server Os must be:Stable,Robust,Secure,High Performance.Linux offers all of the above characteristics. So Linux can be used as:
- 5. -> On stand alone workstation/PC for word processing, graphics, software development, internet, e-mail, chatting, small personal database management system etc.
- 6. ->In network environment as: * File and Print or Application Server Share the data, Connect the expensive device like printer and share it, e-mail within the LAN/intranet etc are some of the application. Linux Server with different Client Os
- 7. (B) Linux sever can be connected to Internet, So that PC's on intranet can share the internet/e-mail etc. You can put your web sever that run your web site or transmit the information on the internet. Linux Server can act as Proxy/Mail/WWW/Router Server etc.
- 8. Linux can also used in, Personal Work
- 9. Web Server
- 11. Workgroup Server
- 12. In Data Center for various server activities such as FTP, Telnet, SSH, Web, Mail, Proxy, Proxy Cache Appliance etc.
- 13. Text Editor(s) Like notepad, so easy to use.
- 14. Other options: emacs, vi (much harder to use)
- 15. Non GUI: pico
- 16. Features of Linux: 1. Virtual memory, allowing the system to use disk room the same as RAM memory. 2. Networking with TCP/IP and other protocols. 3. Multiple user capability. 4. Protected mode so programs or user's can't access unauthorized areas. 5. Shared libraries 6. True multitasking 7. X - A graphical user interface similar to windows, but supports remote sessions over a network.

- 49. DIRECTORY
- 51. LINUX DIRECTORIES: < / > The root directory. The starting point of your directory structure. This is where the Linux system begins. Every other file and directory on your system is under the root directory. Usually the root directory contains only subdirectories. < /boot > The place where Linux keeps information that it needs when booting up. < /bin > The /bin directory contains the most important programs that the system needs to operate, such as the shells, ls, grep, and other essential things.
- 52. < /usr/bin > /usr/bin in turn contains applications for the system's users. < /dev > The devices that are available to a Linux system.In Linux, devices are treated like files and you can read and write devices like they were files. < /etc > The configuration files for the Linux system. Most of these files are text files and can be edited by hand. < /home > This is where users keep their personal files are allowed to write files.
- 53. < /lib > The shared libraries for programs that are dynamically linked. The shared libraries are similar to DLL's on Winblows. < /mnt > This directory is used for mount points. The different physical storage devices (like the hard disk drives, floppies, CD-ROM's) must be attached to some directory in the file system tree before they can be accessed. This attaching is called mounting, and the directory where the device is attached is called the mount point.
- 54. < /sbin, /usr/sbin > Most system administration programs are stored in these directories. In many cases you must run these programs as the root user. < /var > This directory contains variable data that changes constantly when the system is running. Some interesting subdirectories: </var/log > A directory that contains system log files. They're updated when the system runs, and checking them out can give you valuable info about the health of your system.
- 55. </var/mail> Incoming and outgoing mail is stored in this directory. </var/spool> This directory holds files that are queued for some process, like printing. < /tmp > Programs can write their temporary files here.
- 56. < /usr > This directory contains user applications and a variety of other things for them, like their source codes, and pictures, docs, or config files they use. /usr is the largest directory on a Linux system. </usr/share> Config files and graphics for many user apps. < /usr/local > This is where you install apps and other files for use on the local machine.

- 65. insert. Command mode : letters or sequence of letters interactively command vi. Commands are case sensitive. The ESC key can end a command. Insert mode : Text is inserted.

- 70. Cron Tab and Cron Job The Cron, at, batch Command is used for Scheduling Execution of Command according to requirements.
- 71. The term cron is derived from the word chronograph.
- 72. Cron is a system deamon that keeps sleeping most of the time.
- 73. It typically wakes up every one minute and checks it crontab file for any jobs to be executed during this minute.
- 74. All users have a crontab file of his or her own.
- 75. The name of this crontab file will be the user's login name.
- 76. Scheduled jobs will be present in crontab file.
- 77. Cron tab files will be present in the
- 78. /var/ spool/ cron/ crontabs directory .
- 79. A crontab may contain one or more files,each corresponding to a command that is to be executed periodically at a specific day, date and time.
- 80. minute Command to be executed day of week month day of month hour Syntax of a crontab line
- 81. *Every line is made up of six fields with each field seperated by a blank. *From the Fig. First field specifies the minute(0-59)
- 82. Second field specifies the hour(24-h format)
- 83. Third field specifies the day of the month(1-31)
- 84. Fourth field specifies the month(1-12)
- 85. Fifth field specifies the day of the week(0-6),
- 86. 0 being sunday,
- 87. Sixth field contains the command to be executed.
- 88. In crontab line, an asterisk (*) represents all possible values.
- 89. For example, if a * character appears in the fifth field, then the command mentioned in the line will be executed on all days of the week at the specified time.
- 90. No spaces will be allowed within a field.
- 91. If neccessary group of numbers can be specified within a single field seperated by commas.
- 92. Below are two typical crontab lines. 1. 0 0 * * * backup.sh When executed, the above line runs the backup.sh script at midnight everyday . 2. 00,30 09-17 * * 1-5 mail.sh When execute, the above lines runs the mail.sh script on all weekdays-Monday to Friday every half hour between 9 and 17 hours
- 93. When more than one command is executed,
- 94. every cmd has to be written in a seperate line having the above format in a seperate file.
- 95. Then it is submitted to crontab command, as shown below, where cmdfile is the name of the file executed periodically. $crontab cmdfile
- 96. Who can use cron facilities: Only System administrators are permitted to use.
- 97. However, in certain cases,certain users are permitted to use.
- 98. The username of those users will be in a file named cron.allow.
- 99. And cron.deny -contains name of user to whom respective facilities are denied.
- 100. Obviously system administrator maintains all these files.
