C Shell Scripting and Awk Scripting

The C Shell (csh/tcsh) is a shell that retains much of the syntax of the C programming language, making it easier for C programmers to do shell scripting. This course introduces how to work on C Shell and create shell scripts that weave programming logic around Linux commands.
