FALL 2007 This Website (http://homepage.smc.edu/morgan_david) will be used extensively to communicate with you. Announcements, grade reports, and assignments will be posted here. The site can be viewed from an internet-connected browser anywhere. You are responsible for awareness of the information posted here. Grades to date - posted, link at left "Grade reports." Please call any anomalies to my attention. (12/7) I am so fascinated by this kind of little stuff - read what UTC really stands for. It's not French! It's about how the English and the French like each other. (11/30) Homework - the topic is backup. The subtopics are tar and rsync (2 ways to do it). And ssh (facilitates making it remote). Review the following sources for next week.
About tar:
About ssh: Grades to date - posted, link at left "Grade reports." Please call any anomalies to my attention. (11/30) Homework - installing
software with tar/rpm/yum, cron daemon for
scheduled/periodic jobs, ntp network time protocol Grades - midterm grades posted, link at left "Grade reports" (11/9) No class Friday November 23 - Thanksgiving. (11/8) Test - on Friday 10/26 (10/22) Homework
- Slides we viewed - on Friday were "Shell scripting." (10/22) Man page "section" categorization: "Each man page should be categorized in a specific section, denoted by a single from the "Linux Man Page Howto." Take a peek into /usr/share/man on Fedora, wherein all the man pages are actually stored. See also the Sobell textbook, pages 94-91, about the man command, the related info command, and the top sources for getting linux doc and information when you need it. (10/19) Homework
- Slides we viewed - on Friday were "Processes" and its continuation "Homemade shell." Then I covered the syntax and usage of the chmod command to set file permissions. Finally we started talking about shell scripting. (10/5) Homework
- Slides we viewed - tonight, "User administration" and performed exercise "users/groups/access." Last week on 9/28 "Linux GUI" and performed exercise "window managers." (10/5) Scholarship money available - $1000 with priority to students in certain classes. CS41 is a priority class. Use of the funds is not restricted. SMC is seeking applicants, wanting to find recipients for three $1000 scholarships.. Please see information and application. (9/25) Sources: linux GUI Homework
- Slides we viewed - see those at the links entitled "The Shell" and "Bootup & Init." (9/21) Fridaynight shutdown protocol - in English means, "I'd like to request you turn off the machines at the end of class, and here's how." First, do the software shutdown with "poweroff." (Alternatives are "halt," "shutdown -h now," "init 0," "telinit 0," and maybe more.) "poweroff" has the advantage that, on machines that support it, it does a software trigger of a physical switch-off. Leaving the machine not in a state of, "It's OK now for you to turn the machine off," but instead, actually off. Thanks. (8/31) Sobell textbook author Mark Sobell has a website. (8/31) Homework
- Knoppix CD - http://www.knoppix.org/ and other "live CDs" that are bootable directly to linux (without using or messing with your hard disk), http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php (8/31) Remote Unix system |
