3.2         File redirection (> or >> or <)

< redirects input; > redirects output; >> redirects output and appends the information to the existing file.

e.g.

who > users (output of 'who' save into users)

who >> users (output of 'who' append after users)

true > access.log (clean file)

echo '' > access.log (clean file)

wc -l < users (count the line of users)

 

3.3         pipe ( | )

e.g.

|more - 'f' for forward, 'b' for backward, 'q' for quit, 'h' for help, '/' for search.

|pg     - 'q' for quit, 'h' for help.

cat users | wc -l (ditto)

ps | sort (sort process)

 

3.4         &

 

Set the command/script running in the backend.

e.g.

sort date > out &

nohup ksh /SAS/FTEND/sys/admin/pgm/sh/startMatnJobQ.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &

 

stdin, stdout, 和stderr的文件描述符分别是0, 1, 和 2. 对于其他那些需要打开的文件, 保留了文件描述符3到9.

e.g.

&>filename       # 将stdout和stderr都重定向到文件"filename".

M>&N      # "M"是一个文件描述符, 如果没有明确指定的话默认为1.

0<&-, <&-       关闭stdin.

1>&-, >&-       关闭stdout.

 

exec 3>> ${OUT}

exec 2>&3

exec 1>&3

 

3.5         dot (.)

UNIX programs can never, ever modify the environment of their parents. A program can only modify the environment that later will be passed to its children.

If you write a program that executes the cd command, that cd will be effective within your program - but when the program finishes, you'll be back in your original (parent) shell. To solve it, use . or source command.

The source and . command read a script file into the current shell instead of starting a child shell.

e.g. Add below statement in the xxx.sh

. ${TOOLSCP}/wsd_db_mst_ld.sh $1 $2

 

3.6         Special directories (. or .. or /)

Dot directory: the current location.

Dot-dot directory: moves up one level, to the parent directory.

Slash: root

 

3.7         ‘’ “” ``

Same as Perl.

compare with Double quotes (“”), Apostrophe (‘’): 1 – can’t replace variable 2 – 反斜线不支持转义字符. 3 – 可以跨多行.

'' – Single Quote / Apostrophe, string no variable replacement

"" - Double quotes, string with variable replacement

`` - Backquote / Backtick, run the command, generate output as input

 

3.8         Wildcard

 

Option or argument	Function
?	Any one of character.
*	Zero or more characters.
[abc]  [a-c]	Either of a b c.
[!abc]  [!a-c]	Neither of a b c.
^x  ^[abc]	Start with x; start with either of a b c.
x$  [abc]$	End with x, end with either of a b c.
