    UNIX : A CASE STUDY


    Marks 08

    1
    Overview of UNIX
    In 1965 Bell new OS was developed
    named as “MULTICS” for mainframe
    systems.
    The goals of MULTICS are:
    1. Provide access to large no of users.
    2. Provide large computation power and
    data storage.
    3. Allow users to share their data easily.

    2
    Features of UNIX Operating System
    1. Unix is Portable
    2. Open System
    3. Multi-user Capability
    4. Multi-tasking Capability
    5. Hierarchical File System
    6. The shell
    7. Built in Networking
    8. Security
    9. Software Development Tools
    3
    Structure of UNIX OS

    4
    Booting
    BIOS
    MBR
    Kernel
    GRUB
    Init
    Runlevel programs

    5
    BIOS BIOS Executes MBR

    MBR MBR Executes GRUB

    GRUB GRUB Executes Kernel

    Kernel
    Kernel Executes /sbin/Init

    Init Init Executes Runlevel programs

    Runlevel
    Runlevel programs are executed

    6
    UNIX File System
    1. Ordinary files
    They contain
    information stored in some format ,
    binary programs, source code programs
    or ASCII text files.
    UNIX is case sensitive
    so file1 and FILE1 as two separate
    names.

    7
    2. Directory Files
    They can be thought of
    as branches of a tree that tie the file
    structure together.
    They are a collection of
    files or subdirectories.
    Inode File Name
    No.

    8
    3. Special files
    Ip-System Printer
    rdsk , dsk –disks
    hd00 , hd01-hard disk
    represents
    tty00 , tty01-terminals or
    communication lines.

    9
    Printers Tapes
    Disk files

    Terminal Communication Pipes

    UNIX and LINUX Comparison
    Linux is just kernel
    User Friendly
    Security Firewall Software
    Backup and Recovery
    Software(tar,dump/restore)
    File System
    System Startup Scripts(HP-UX,Linux)
    End User Perspective( Perl or Eclipse tool)
