Workshop Description (Intermediate Course)
This workshop (UNIX Command Line II) continues Workshop W1: UNIX Command Line I and uses the Hoffman2 campus computing cluster. The focus is on features that make dealing with large files or large numbers of files or repetitive tasks easier. These include shell variables, substitutions, redirections, pipes, loops, conditionals, subshells, shell functions, and shell scripts. There will be illustrations of how to run modest numbers of multiple commands at the same time — both within a single node/one computer, and (using the Hoffman2 queue system) across multiple nodes of the cluster.
