This is a challenging course that focuses on the fundamental tools and concepts of Linux and Unix. Students gain proficiency using the command line. Beginners develop a solid foundation in Unix, while advanced users discover patterns and fill in gaps in their knowledge. Like all Guru Labs courses, the course material is designed to provide extensive hands-on experience.
This detailed program covers a broad spectrum of Linux functionalities, from basic command line operations and filesystem management to setting up and maintaining secure environments. It provides a deep dive into the Linux ecosystem, equipping IT personnel with the necessary tools to manage and optimize Linux-based systems.
In the more advanced sections, the course delves into shell scripting and process management, critical for scripting automated tasks, managing software processes, and scheduling tasks with cron. Participants will gain hands-on experience in writing effective scripts for a variety of administrative tasks, including system monitoring and batch processing. The training also covers process management in depth, including job scheduling, process prioritization, and handling, essential for ensuring optimal performance and stability of Linux systems.
Additionally, the course introduces participants to advanced text manipulation techniques and tools such as sed, awk, and Vim. These tools are fundamental in efficiently handling log files, configuring system settings programmatically, and performing data analysis tasks. By the end of the course, IT professionals will have a solid foundation in managing Linux environments, with practical skills in leveraging Linux for system administration, automation, and technical problem-solving in professional IT settings.
