Advanced Unix Concepts and IPC

Course Overview

This course empowers learners to apply, analyze, and automate Unix-based system operations using real-world command-line workflows and shell scripting techniques. Through hands-on lessons, participants will execute file and directory management tasks, analyze interprocess communication (IPC) concepts, and demonstrate proficiency in using core Unix utilities. As learners progress, they will differentiate between Bourne, Korn, and C shells, and construct efficient shell scripts for streamlining system processes. With a structured mix of file handling, process control, system diagnostics, and scripting best practices, this course equips learners with the practical skills to evaluate system behaviors, formulate command solutions, and synthesize shell-based automation tools in Unix environments. Ideal for aspiring system administrators, developers, and engineers, the course culminates in graded assessments and quizzes that reinforce critical thinking and real-time command execution.
