  3. Why teach Mac’s and Unix in the same course? • Macintosh is based on UNIX. An understanding of UNIX brings a better understanding of the Macintosh's. • This is the main way to access all UNIX servers at UMSL Macintosh UNIX

  5. A few facts about OS X. Based on a UNIX variant called Free BSD. Offers all the stability of UNIX with all the ease of an Apple.

  8. Make sure you log out! This is to protect your files and to make sure you are protected from other peoples actions. When you log out, all the local files on the computer are deleted. Save your work to a transferable media, like SAMBA or a USB Memory Drive! Samba is a great way to transfer, save, and store files. Use the help menu! Some tips...

  9. UNIX

  10. There are some very important distinctions to make when dealing with our UNIX servers and the Macs: The Macs are not our UNIX servers! When you log into a UNIX server, your Admiral files are on a separate machine – not on the Mac. Local files are on the Mac, not on the server. Printing files on the UNIX servers and printing them on the Macs are done in different ways. A Word of Warning

  11. Open a terminal Type in ssh userName@admiral.umsl.edu Enter your password OR telnetadmiral.umsl.edu Enter username & password Enjoy! Getting to our UNIX servers

  12. The File Tree Note the capitals! (root) / /home/jason ITS dir_a dir_c dir_b dir_c dir_b dir_a .. Moves “up” the file tree . An alias for your current working directory (CWD) dir_d

  13. man - Displays help on different topics pwd - Displays where you are in the file tree cd - Changes directories ls - Displays the files in the current directory lpr - Prints out files vi - A text editor (think of it like Notepad) mv - Moves or renames a file or directory rm - Removes a file/directory exit - Logs you out Basic Commands_ For a more complete list of commands, get a helpsheet from one of the labs!

  14. vi Commands • To add text - hit the esc key and the letter i • To delete text - hit the esc key and the letter x • To delete an entire line - hit the esc key and the letters dd • To save your file - hit the esc key and type :w and then hit return • To save and exit vi - hit the esc key and type :wq and hit return For a help sheet, see one of our friendly consultants in any of the labs!
