Is there any s/w acts like UNIX?
Hi Frnds,

I do not have UNIX OS and I am practicing on shell programming. is there any software that acts like UNIX? just to practice shell programming.

Thanks in advance,

Rashmy.

Unix is an operating system, and acts like one. You can run it under VMware or similar if you really want the whole OS. But you probably mean the shell and related utilities. If you are on MacOS X, you already have it. If you are on Windows, I hear rumors that Cygwin might be worth investigating. But you could also install a simple Linux or *BSD system on a spare drive and experience the real thing. Several Linux distros now ship a Live CD which doesn't even require you to install anything, you just run it off the CD. (I would recommend Ubuntu.)

I'm a cygwin user myself and yes, it's worth it. Smilie
At least if you do not want to install an OS.
Other options are The Windows Services for UNIX (SFU), which include a ksh shell (among other things):
Download details: Windows Services for UNIX Version 3.5
Anyway, I do agree era. I would use/install the OS.
Regards.

Fedora make available a LIVE CD.
Which provides users the opportunity to try out their distribution without actually installing it.
Fedora can be found at ... Fedora Project

Hope that's of some help to you.

Btw, why is that a rumor ? Smilie


if you are interested in practicing the basic commands, shell utilities in non-UNIX os, cygwin is a good choice to try with

Hi.

If you have access to the Internet with telnet, ssh, or web, there are sites that offer free shell accounts. Here is a list of 50 or so such facilities: Free Shell Accounts ... cheers, drl
