INTRODUCTION TO LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
Linux is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems
based on the Linux kernel. Their development is one of the most prominent
examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the
underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed by
anyone.
The name "Linux" comes from the Linux kernel, originally written in 1991
by Linus Torvalds. The rest of the system usually comprises components
such as the Apache HTTP Server, the X Window System, the K Desktop
Environment, and utilities and libraries from the GNU operating system
(announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman).
Many quantitative studies of free / open source software focus on topics
including market share and reliability, with numerous studies specifically
examining Linux. The Linux market is growing rapidly .

EXPERIMENT – 1
AIM: To study the Execution of various file/directory handling commands.
THEORY:
The Linux file system is the structure in which all the information on your computer is
stored. Files are organized within a hierarchy of directories. Each directory can contain files,
as well as other directories.
If you were to map out the files and directories in Linux, it would look like an upside-down
tree. At the top is the root directory, which is represented by a single slash ( / ). Below that is
a set of common directories in the Linux system, such as bin, dev, home, lib , and tmp , to
name a few. Each of those directories, as well as directories added to the root, can contain
subdirectories.

Some of the Linux directories that may interest you include the following:
 /bin - Contains common Linux user commands, such as ls, sort , date , and chmod .
 /boot - Has the bootable Linux kernel and boot loader configuration files (GRUB).
 /dev - Contains files representing access points to devices on your systems. These
include terminal devices ( tty* ), floppy disks ( fd* ), hard disks ( hd* or sc* ), RAM (
ram* ), and CD-ROM ( cd* ). (Applications normally access these devices directly
through the device files, but end users rarely access them directly.)
 /etc - Contains administrative configuration files.
 /home - Contains directories assigned to each user with a login account.
 /media - Provides a location for mounting devices, such as remote file systems and
removable media (with directory names of cdrom , floppy , and so on). In Fedora and
RHEL, many removable media are mounted automatically in this directory when the
media is inserted (CD or DVD) or connected (USB pen drives or cameras ).
 /proc - Provides a mechanism for the kernel to send information to processes.
 /root - Represents the root user's home directory.
 /sbin - Contains administrative commands and daemon processes.
 /sys - A /proc -like file system, added with the Linux 2.6 kernel and intended to
contain files for getting hardware status and reflecting the system's device tree as it is
seen by the kernel. It pulls many of its functions from /proc .
 /tmp - Contains temporary files used by applications.
 /usr - Contains user documentation, games , graphical files (X11), libraries (lib), and
a variety of other user and administrative commands and files.
 /var - Contains directories of data used by various applications. In particular, this is
where you would place files that you share as an FTP server ( /var/ftp ) or a Web
server ( /var/www ). It also contains all system log files ( /var/log ). In time, FTP,
HTTP, and similar services will move to the /srv directory to adhere to the Linux
Standards Base ( www.freestandards.org/spec ).

THEORY :
The Vi editor is a visual editor used to create and edit text, files, documents and
programs. It displays the content of files on the screen and allows a user to add, delete or
change part of text . There are three modes available in the Vi editor , they are
1.Command mode
2.Input (or) insert mode.
Starting Vi :
The Vi editor is invoked by giving the following commands in LINUX prompt.
Syntax : $vi <filename> (or) $vi
This command would open a display screen with 25 lines and with tilt (~) symbol at the
start of each line. The first syntax would save the file in the filename mentioned and for the
next the filename must be mentioned at the end.

EXPERIMENT – 3
AIM :
1. Write a shell script program to find the Maximum three numbers .

2. Write a shell script program for comparison of strings
3. Peform Arithmetic operation using CASE
THEORY :
Shell programming is a group of commands grouped together under single filename.

After logging onto the system a prompt for input appears which is generated by a Command
String Interpreter program called the shell. The shell interprets the input, takes appropriate
action, and finally prompts for more input. The shell can be used either interactively - enter
commands at the command prompt, or as an interpreter to execute a shell script. Shell scripts
are dynamically interpreted, NOT compiled.
Common Shells.
C-Shell - csh : The default on teaching systems Good for interactive systems Inferior
programmable features
Bourne Shell - bsh or sh - also restricted shell - bsh : Sophisticated pattern matching
and file name substitution
Korn Shell : Backwards compatible with Bourne Shell Regular expression
substitution emacs editing mode

Thomas C-Shell - tcsh : Based on C-Shell Additional ability to use emacs to edit the
command line Word completion & spelling correction Identifying your
shell.
SHELL KEYWORDS :
echo, read, if fi, else, case, esac, for , while , do , done, until , set, unset, readonly, shift,
export, break, continue, exit, return, trap , wait, eval ,exec, ulimit , umask. ‘
EXPRESSION Command :
To perform all arithematic operations .

Syntax :
Var = „expr$value1‟ + $ value2‟
OPERATORS :
Shell uses the built-in test command operators to test numbers and strings.
Equality:
= string

DESCISION MAKING STATEMENMTS

LINUX Shell supports conditional statements which are used to perform different actions
based on different conditions. Here we will explain following two decision making
statements:
 The if...else statements

 The case...esac statement
if...else statements:
If else statements are useful decision making statements which can be used to select an option
from a given set of options.
LINUX Shell supports following forms of if..else statement:
 if...fi statement
 if...else...fi statement
 if...elif...else...fi statement
if...fi statement

VIVA QUESTION:
1. How do you terminate a shell script if statement?

2. What code would you use in a shell script to determine if a directory exists?
3. How do you read keyboard input in shell scripts?
4. How do you find out what’s your shell?
5. Write the syntax for switch case in shell script .
EXPERIMENT – 4
AIM:
1. Calculate the factorial value of a number using shell script .

2. To write a shell program to generate fibonacci series.
3. Write a program to draw a Pascal’s Triangle
THEORY:
Loop defined as:"Computer can repeat particular instruction again and again, until particular
condition satisfies. A group of instruction that is executed repeatedly is called a loop."
Following types of loops available to shell programmers:
 The while loop

 The for loop
 The until loop
 The select loop
Note that in each and every loop,

(a) First, the variable used in loop condition must be initialized, then execution of the loop
begins.
(b) A test (condition) is made at the beginning of each iteration.
(c) The body of loop ends with a statement that modifies the value of the test (condition)
variable.
While Loop
Syntax:
while [ condition ]
do
……
statements
done
Until Loop
 Sometimes you need to execute a set of commands until a condition is true.

 Syntax:
until command
do
Statement(s) to be executed until command is true
done
For Loop
Syntax 1:
for (( expr1; expr2; expr3 ))
do
.....
.....
repeat all statements between do and
done until expr2 is TRUE
Done

Syntax 2:
for { variable name } in { list }
do
…..
…..
execute one for each item in the list until the list is not
finished and repeat all statement between do and done
done
ARRAY:
Shell supports a different type of variable called an array variable that can hold multiple values at the
same time. Arrays provide a method of grouping a set of variables. Instead of creating a new name for
each variable that is required, you can use a single array variable that stores all the other variables.
Simplest method of creating an array variable is to assign a value to one of its indices. This is
expressed as follows:
array_name[index]=value
Here array_name is the name of the array, index is the index of the item in the array that you want to
set, and value is the value you want to set for that item.
Accessing Array Values:
After you have set any array variable, you access it as follows:
${array_name[index]}
Here array_name is the name of the array, and index is the index of the value to be accessed.

File ownership is an important component of LINUX that provides a secure method for storing files.
Every file and directory in LINUX has the following attributes:
 Owner permissions: The owner's permissions determine what actions the owner of the file
can perform on the file.
 Group permissions: The group's permissions determine what actions a user, who is a
member of the group that a file belongs to, can perform on the file.
 Other (world) permissions: The permissions for others indicate what action all other users
can perform on the file.
The permissions can be granted or denied to these three classes of users.
FILE AND DIRECTOEY ACCESS MODES:
1. Read:Grants the capability to read ie. view the contents of the file and directory .
2. Write:Grants the capability to modify, or remove the content of the file and directory .
3. Execute:User with execute permissions can run a file as a program.But in case of directory , it
does not mean anything only traverse permission .
They are represented as :
r W X r __ X r __ X
__
File Permission for the owner Permission of the Permission for the
Type of file group to which the rest of users
files belongs
CHANGING PERMISSIONS:
To change file or directory permissions, you use the chmod (change mode) command. There
are two ways to use chmod: symbolic mode and absolute mode.
Using chmod in symbolic mode:
The easiest way for a beginner to modify file or directory permissions is to use the symbolic
mode. With symbolic permissions you can add, delete, or specify the permission set you want
by using the operators in the following table.

Chmod operator Description

Adds the designated permission(s) to a file or
+
directory.
Removes the designated permission(s) from a file or
-
directory.
= Sets the designated permission(s).
u user
g group
o other
a all
r read
w write
x execute
Using chmod with Absolute Permissions:
The second way to modify permissions with the chmod command is to use a number to
specify each set of permissions for the file.
Each permission is assigned a value, as the following table shows, and the total of each set of
permissions provides a number for that set.
Number Octal Permission Representation Ref
0 No permission ---
1 Execute permission --x
2 Write permission -w-
Execute and write permission: 1 (execute) + 2
3 -wx
(write) = 3
4 Read permission r--
Read and execute permission: 4 (read) + 1
5 r-x
(execute) = 5

Read and write permission: 4 (read) + 2 (write) =

6 rw-
6
All permissions: 4 (read) + 2 (write) + 1 (execute)
7 rw
=7
CHANGING OWNERS AND GROUPS:
While creating an account on Unix, it assigns a owner ID and a group ID to each user. All the
permissions mentioned above are also assigned based on Owner and Groups.
Two commands are available to change the owner and the group of files:
1. chown: The chown command stands for "change owner" and is used to change the
owner of a file.
2. chgrp: The chgrp command stands for "change group" and is used to change the
group of a file.
Changing ownership:
The chown command changes the ownership of a file.
syntax :
$ chown user filelist
The value of user can be either the name of a user on the system or the user id (uid) of a user
on the system.
Changing Group Ownership:
The chrgp command changes the group ownership of a file.
syntax :
$ chgrp group filelist

EXPERIMENT –6
AIM :
1. To write a program to create a process in LINUX.
2. To study Dinning Philosophers Problem.
THEORY:
Five philosophers are seated around a circular table. Each philosopher has a place of
spaghetti and he needs two forks to eat. Between each plate there is a fork. The life of a
philosopher consists of alternate period of eating & thinking. When a philosopher gets
hungry, he tries to acquire his left fork, if he gets it, it tries to acquire right fork.
In this solution, we check after picking the left fork whether the right fork is available or not.
If not, then philosopher puts down the left fork & continues to think. Even this can fail if all
the philosophers pick the left fork simultaneously & no right forks available & putting the left
fork down again. This repeats & leads to starvation.
Now, we can modify the problem by making the philosopher wait for a random amount of
time instead of same time after failing to acquire right hand fork. This will reduce the
problem of starvation. Solution to dinning philosophers problem.

VAR
me: semaphore, initially 1; /* for mutual exclusion */

As before, each philosopher is an endless cycle of thinking and eating.
procedure philosopher(i)
{
while TRUE do
{
THINKING;
take_chopsticks(i);
EATING;
drop_chopsticks(i);
}
}
The take_chopsticks procedure involves checking the status of neighboring philosophers and
then declaring one's own intention to eat. This is a two-phase protocol; first declaring the
status HUNGRY, then going on to EAT.
procedure take_chopsticks(i)
{
DOWN(me); /* critical section */
pflag[i] := HUNGRY;
test[i];
UP(me); /* end critical section */
DOWN(s[i]) /* Eat if enabled */
}
void test(i) /* Let phil[i] eat, if waiting */

{
if ( pflag[i] == HUNGRY
&& pflag[i-1] != EAT
&& pflag[i+1] != EAT)
then
{
pflag[i] := EAT;
UP(s[i])
}

Once a philosopher finishes eating, all that remains is to relinquish the resources---its two
chopsticks---and thereby release waiting neighbours.
void drop_chopsticks(int i)
{
DOWN(me); /* critical section */
test(i-1); /* Let phil. on left eat if possible */

EXPERIMENT –7
AIM:
1. Write a program to illustrate IPC through pipe and fork system calls – Printing only
odd numbers.
2. Demonstrates a one-way pipe between two processes.

THEORY:
The system call provides an interface to the operating system services. System calls allow
user-level processes to request some services from the operating system which process itself
is not allowed to do.
Types of System Calls
There are 5 different categories of system calls:

process control, file manipulation, device manipulation, information maintenance and communication.
 Process Control: A running program needs to be able to stop execution either normally or
abnormally. When execution is stopped abnormally, often a dump of memory is taken and
can be examined with a debugger.
 File Management : Some common system calls are create, delete, read, write, reposition, or
close. Also, there is a need to determine the file attributes – get and set file attribute. Many
times the OS provides an API to make these system calls.
 Device Management : Process usually require several resources to execute, if these resources
are available, they will be granted and control returned to the user process. These resources
are also thought of as devices. Some are physical, such as a video card, and others are
abstract, such as a file.
User programs request the device, and when finished they release the device. Similar to files,
we can read, write, and reposition the device.
 Information Management : Some system calls exist purely for transferring information
between the user program and the operating system. An example of this is time, or date.
The OS also keeps information about all its processes and provides system calls to report this
information.
 Communication :There are two models of interprocess communication, the message-passing

model and the shared memory model.
Message-passing uses a common mailbox to pass messages between processes.
Shared memory use certain system calls to create and gain access to create and gain access to
regions of memory owned by other processes. The two processes exchange information by
reading and writing in the shared data.

AIM:
1. To write a C program to implement the CPU scheduling algorithm for FIRST COME
FIRST SERVE.
2. Write a C program to implement the various process scheduling mechanisms such

as SJF Scheduling .
3. Write a C program to implement the various process scheduling mechanisms such

as Round Robin Scheduling.

THEORY:
FCFS:
CPU scheduler will decide which process should be given the CPU for its execution.For this it
use different algorithm to choose among the process. one among that algorithm is fcfs algorithm.
In this algorithm the process which arrive first is given the cpu after finishing its request only it
will allow cpu to execute other process.
SJF:
This algorithm associates with each process the length of the process's next CPU burst.
When the CPU is available, it is assigned to the process that has the smallest next CPU burst.
If the next CPU bursts of two processes are the same, FCFS scheduling is used.
RR :
The round-robin (RR) scheduling algorithm is designed especially for time-sharing systems.
It is similar to FCFS scheduling . A small unit of time, called a time quantum or time slice, is
defined. A time quantum is generally from 10 to 100 milliseconds. The ready queue is treated
as a circular queue.

Step 1: Start the process

Step 2: Accept the number of processes in the ready Queue
Step 3: For each process in the ready Q, assign the process id and accept the CPU burst
time
Step 4: Set the waiting of the first process as ‘0’ and its burst time as its turn around
time
Step 5: for each process in the Ready Q calculate
(a) Waiting time for process(n)= waiting time of process (n-1) + Burst time of
process(n-1)
(b) Turn around time for Process(n)= waiting time of Process(n)+ Burst time

EXPERIMENT –9
AIM:
To simulate banker’s algorithm for deadlock avoidance
THEORY:
Deadlock :
A set of processes is deadlocked if each process in the set is waiting for an event that only another
process in the set can cause (including itself).
Waiting for an event could be:
 waiting for access to a critical section

 Waiting for a resource Note that it is usually a non-preempt able (resource). Preempt able
resources can be yanked away and given to another.
Conditions for Deadlock
 Mutual exclusion: resources cannot be shared.

 Hold and wait: processes request resources incrementally, and hold on to what they've got.
 No preemption: resources cannot be forcibly taken from processes.
 Circular wait: circular chain of waiting, in which each process is waiting for a resource held by
the next process in the chain.
Deadlock Avoidance

Avoid actions that may lead to a deadlock. Think of it as a state machine moving from one state to
another as each instruction is executed.
Safe State
Safe state is one where

 It is not a deadlocked state
 There is some sequence by which all requests can be satisfied.
To avoid deadlocks, we try to make only those transitions that will take you from one safe state to
another. We avoid transitions to unsafe state (a state that is not deadlocked, and is not safe) .
ALGORITHM:
1. Start the program.
2. Get the values of resources and processes.
3. Get the avail value.
4. After allocation find the need value.
5. Check whether its possible to allocate.
6. If it is possible then the system is in safe state.

EXPERIMENT – 10

AIM:
To study page replacement policies like
1. First-in-first-out
2. Least recently used(LRU)
3. Optimal
THEORY:
In multiprogramming system using dynamic partitioning there will come a time when all of
the processes in the main memory are in a blocked state and there is insufficient memory. To
avoid wasting processor time waiting for an active process to become unblocked. The OS
will swap one of the process out of the main memory to make room for a new process or for a
process in ReadySuspend state. Therefore,the OS must choose which pocess to replace.
Thus, when a page fault occurs, the OS has to change a page to remove from memory to
make room for the page that must be brought in. If the page to be removed has been modified
while in memory it must be written to disk to bring the disk copy up to date.
Replacement algorithms can affect the system's performance.
Following are the three basic page replacement algorithms:
 First-In-First_Out
Replace the page that has been in memory longest, is the policy applied by FIFO.
Pages from
memory are removed in round-robin fashion. Its advantage is it's simplicity.
 Least Recently Used Algorithm
This paging algorithm selects a page for replacement that has been unused for the
longest time.
 Optimal Page Replacement Policy
The idea is to replace the page that will not be referenced for the longest period of
time.

EXPERIMENT-1
AIM:
1. To implement and simulate the MFT algorithm.
2. To write a program to simulate the MVT algorithm
THEORY: In this the memory is divided in to parts and process is fit into it. The process
which is best suited in to it is placed in the particular memory where it suits. We have to
check memory partition. If it suits, its status should be changed.
MFT -
Partition main memory into a set of non-overlapping memory regions called partitions.

Fixed partitions can be of equal or unequal sizes.Leftover space in partition, after program
assignment, is called internal fragmentation.
Main memory use is inefficient. Any program, no matter how small, occupies an entire
partition. This can cause internal fragmentation. Unequal-size partitions lessens these
problems but they still remain ... Equal-size partitions was used in early IBM’s OS/MFT
(Multiprogramming with a Fixed number of Tasks).
MVT -
Variable-partition sizes for efficiency (sized to a given process’ needs).Hole – block of
available memory; holes of various size are scattered throughout memory. When a process
arrives, it is allocated memory from a hole large enough to accommodate it. Process exiting
frees its partition, adjacent free partitions combined.
1.ALGORITHM:
Step1: start the process.

Step2: Declare variables.
Step3: Enter total memory size ms.
Step4: Allocate memory for os.

{

}
}
Step 8: Print the results
Step 9 :Stop the process.
EXPERIMENT-2
AIM:
To implement simple paging technique.
THEORY:
Paging is a memory management scheme which permits the physical address space of a
process to be non contiguous.In this scheme physical memory is broken into fixed sized
blocks called FRAMES . The logical memory is broken into blocks of same size called

PAGES.When a process is to be executed, its pages are loaded into any available memory
frames from the backing store.
Every address generated by the CPU is divided into two parts

page number( p )
page offset (d )
The size of a page is power of 2 . The selection of power of 2 as the page size makes the
translation of logical address into a page number and page offset easy.The size of a page is 2
lies between 512 bytes and 16mb per page depending on the computer architecture.
When we use the paging scheme we have no external fragmentation.
ALGORITHM:
Step 1: Read all the necessary input from the keyboard.

Step 2: Pages - Logical memory is broken into fixed - sized blocks.
Step 3: Frames – Physical memory is broken into fixed – sized blocks.
Step 4: Calculate the physical address using the following
Physical address = ( Frame number * Frame size ) + offset
Step 5: Display the physical address.
Step 6: Stop the process.
