Description

At the start of the school I will give a very brief introduction to the Unix shell. Most of the exercises during the school will make use of the shell in one way or another, so it is important to be comfortable with it. I will explain why the shell is so powerful, and give some every-day use examples so it is easier for novices to get around on the system.

After discussions with some of you, I have added a small writeup that might explain a few concepts more thoroughly. Download the shell_writeup,pdf file.
