The "shell" in Unix is a generic term for the program that provides the basic user interface to the system. Typically, this would be a command line interface, but might also include a graphical interface (e.g., "gnome shell"). This workshop will cover commands common to most variations of Unix and Unix command line interface shells. The second hour of this workshop will explore shell commands and solutions inspired by participant questions and problems. It is assumed you are familiar with basic shell concepts.Presented by Steven DickVirtual Location URL: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8jLhnp6RnXlXIqi Registration Link: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8jLhnp6RnXlXIqi
