This course builds upon the earlier Introduction to Linux course. We expect people to be familiar with the concepts of file-system related (ls, rm, mkdir, cd ...) commands and have a basic knowledge about the shell. At the end of the course the students should be able to build workflows inside bash and to use POSIX text utilities to search, reorder and modify larger data and files. In other words, to use the shell in production related to scientific computing.
