Libor Forst - Teaching

Introduction to UNIX

The course was replaced by the NSWI177 course.

Terms and conditions of credit granting are determined by the tutor. Credit is a prerequisite for admission to exam (not for registration to it).

Dates of exams are provided in the Student Information System where the registration is being made, too.

Registration may be cancelled three days prior the exam at the latest. All those registered and not pardoned loose an attempt.

Due dates take place at the end of semester and during examination period, a few remedial exam dates are available in the second half of September.

The examination consists of written and oral part.

The paper should show and prove fundamental knowledge of the system, standard commands, shell and utilities (and also little programming).
Usually the assignment is to write a program in shell, which can read some data, emails and/or configuration files and based on these, it works someway with the network, the file system or just produces another output (see a sample).
There will be 120 minutes for the paper. However, take into account that the last people may be leaving the oral part as late as 7 hours from the onset of the exam.
Arbitrary literature is permitted during the written part of the exam (slides, books, notes from seminars and tutorials etc.). Some may be surprised that bringing the resolved problem assignment and just copying it into the paper is naturally not allowed
A single computer is also available for reading handbook pages or testing some commands. Using of own personal computer or communication devices is not permitted.

Oral part of the exam consists in the defense of the paper and, depending on its outcome, in contingent additional questioning.

There will be about 9 my lectures and the rest of semester is taught by Klara Peskova.
