Fundamentals of HP-UX COURSE DESCRIPTION This course teaches the basic working environment of an HP-UX system. It introduces commonly required operations that can be performed by entering commands interactively in a command terminal, along with functions available in the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). This course is taught for all supported HP-UX hardware platforms. COURSE OBJECTIVES Each participant will be able to use Korn Shell techniques and commands to maintain collections of files, create files using interactive editor utilities, create and execute basic command procedures, communicate with other users, and tailor the interactive environment to meet their needs. Environment control using the CDE graphical utilities will also be shown.
