Date Monday April 02 2007
Time 10:00 - 12:00
Location Online (local AG room).
Contact Barb Autterson, SHARCNET.

This seminar will provide an overview of the bash shell (which most users have as their default shell on SHARCNET clusters), and the scripting facilities it provides. Shell scripts can be used in conjunction with common system utilities to automate a wide variety of tasks that would otherwise be time consuming or tedious to do manually. Practical examples will range from large scale job submission to post-processing/reformatting program output and file management.
