Shell scripting

MANUAL BOOK FOR SHELL SCRIPTING *CLICK HERE

A shell script is a computer program designed to be run by the Unix/Linux shell which could be one of the following:

  • The Bourne Shell
  • The C Shell
  • The Korn Shell
  • The GNU Bourne-Again Shell

A shell is a command-line interpreter and typical operations performed by shell scripts include file manipulation, program execution, and printing text.

Extended Shell Scripts

Shell scripts have several required constructs that tell the shell environment what to do and when to do it. Of course, most scripts are more complex than the above one.

The shell is, after all, a real programming language, complete with variables, control structures, and so forth. No matter how complicated a script gets, it is still just a list of commands executed sequentially.

The following script uses the read command which takes the input from the keyboard and assigns it as the value of the variable PERSON and finally prints it on STDOUT.

#!/bin/sh

# Script follows here:

echo "What is your name?"
read PERSON
echo "Hello, $PERSON"

Here is a sample run of the script −

$./test.sh
What is your name?
Zara Ali
Hello, Zara Ali
$

Subsequent part of this tutorial will cover Unix/Linux Shell Scripting in detail.

IPv6 (Internet protocol version 6) The INTERNET ENGINEERING TASK FORCE , IETF ( organization responsible for defining the IP standards ). In 1980's the IETF developed IPv4 but as internet explosion took place in 1990s , The TETF realized that they might need the new protocol standards for the Next generation . IPv6 is the second network layer standard protocol that follows IPv4 , it offers increased address size , a streamlined header format , extensible headers & the ability to provide confidentiality and integrity of communications. the following list summarizes the characteristics of IPv6 and the improvements it can deliver: Larger address space : Increased address size from 32 bits to 128 bits Streamlined protocol header : Improves packet-forwarding efficiency Stateless autoconfiguration: The ability for nodes to determine their own address Multicast: Increased use of efficient one-to-many communications Jumbograms: The ability to have very large packet paylo

THE CIA TRAID

Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability Confidentiality, integrity and availability, known as the CIA triad (Figure ), is a guideline for information security for an organization. Confidentiality ensures the privacy of data by restricting access through authentication encryption. Integrity assures that the information is accurate and trustworthy. Availability ensures that the information is accessible to authorized people. Confidentiality Another term for confidentiality would be privacy. Company policies should restrict access to the information to authorized personnel and ensure that only those authorized individuals view this data. The data may be compartmentalized according to the security or sensitivity level of the information. For example, a Java program developer should not have to access to the personal information of all employees. Furthermore, employees should receive training to under
