The UNIX operating system is made up of three parts; the kernel, the shell and the programs.
-
The kernel of UNIX is the hub of the operating system: it allocates time and memory to programs and handles the filestore and communications in response to system calls
-
suppose a user types rm myfile
-
searches the filestore for the file containing the program rm
-
requests the kernel, through system calls, to execute the program rm on myfile
-
The shell acts as an interface between the user and the kernel
-
then starts another program called the shell
-
The commands are themselves programs: when they terminate
-
It interprets the commands the user types in and arranges for them to be carried out
-
users can use different shells on the same machine.

pressing the [Tab] key

Everything in UNIX is either a file or a process
-
A process is an executing program identified by a unique PID (process identifier)
-
A file is a collection of data. They are created by users using text editors, running compilers etc
-
incomprehensible to a casual user
-
comprehensible directly to the machine
-
a directory
-
The file-system is arranged in a hierarchical structure
-
The top of the hierarchy is traditionally called root

UNIX is an operating system which was first developed in the 1960s, and has been under constant development ever since. By operating system, we mean the suite of programs which make the computer work. It is a stable, multi-user, multi-tasking system for servers, desktops and laptops.
-
Here in the School, we use Solaris on our servers and workstations, and Fedora Linux on the servers and desktop PCs.
-
- a document (report, essay etc.)
- the text of a program written in some high-level programming language
- instructions comprehensible directly to the machine and incomprehensible to a casual user, for example, a collection of binary digits (an executable or binary file);
- a directory, containing information about its contents, which may be a mixture of other directories (subdirectories) and ordinary files.
Everything in UNIX is either a file or a process.
A process is an executing program identified by a unique PID (process identifier).
A file is a collection of data. They are created by users using text editors, running compilers etc.
