Course Description:

'' This three-day Solaris course provides a follow-on from the Introduction to Solaris course, and is for power users and administrators who wish to learn more of the general purpose Solaris/UNIX utilities, and be able to automate tasks by writing shell scripts using the Bourne, Korn and Bash shells. This course not only teaches you the utilities and programming skills, but also provides many examples of useful shell scripts. A further important aspect is that you will be able to readily interpret existing scripts.

This course covers Solaris running on both Sun and Intel hardware. More than 90% of the material is also applicable to other versions of Unix and our tutors will be able to advise which features are Solaris-specific as they present the course.

Prerequisites
Experience of Solaris, Linux or UNIX similar to the level covered in our Introduction to Solaris course.

Follow-up
We offer a comprehensive range of Solaris 10 Systems Administration courses right up to Advanced levels. (see Solaris 10 System Administration (Part 1) for the first of these). Those who need to tackle more advanced data manipulation and scripting techniques should also consider our range of Perl Programming courses. Sheets describing each of our courses, and current schedules, are available on request. This course is part of a program which can lead you to Solaris Certification
