Linux/Unix 4: Scripting for Administrators Sed, Awk, and Perl
A system administrator would get completely overloaded if repetitive tasks were not automated. The fourth course in the Linux/Unix System Administration certificate series teaches the basics of sed, awk, and shell scripting. The majority of the course focuses on the undeniable power of Perl scripting in the hands of a system administrator.
Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward the System Administration Certificate Series.
From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing real sed, awk, and perl based projects. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to the student's portfolio and will contribute to certificate completion. Students will have root and console access to real machines, thus they will gain real experience. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.
This course covers topics including: Sed, Awk, shell scripting, Perl, loops, arrays and hashes, data manipulation, regular expressions, functions, directories and files, recursive searches, etc.
