This course teaches the Solaris 10 professional (user, systems
administrator, application/system programmer) the techniques
needed to develop advanced shell and reporting type procedures
under Solaris 10. Techniques in the major shells will be shown.
All Solaris 10 platforms support the techniques in this course.
Solaris Training Prerequisites
This is an advanced Solaris 10 course. It is assumed that participants
either have attended the Fundamentals of Solaris 10
course, or have equivalent experience with a Solaris 10 system.
Solaris Training Course duration
This course normally requires three (3) days, approximately 50 %
lecture, and 50 % lab time.
Solaris Training Course Objectives
Each participant will be able to use Solaris 10, awk, nawk, and
Korn shell commands to maintain collections of files, control
usage of shell command scripts, and generate reports using the
(n)awk facility.
