The Shell
A shell is a command-line interface to UNIX.
- Also many flavors, e.g. sh, bash, csh, tcsh.
The shell provides commands and functionality beyond the basic UNIX tools.
- E.g., wildcards, shell variables, loop control, etc.
For this tutorial, examples use tcsh in RedHat Linux running Gnome.
- Differences are minor for the most part...
