           ‘.’ for any character.
            g for global replacemet.

 

 

What is the difference between a ‘thread’ and a ‘process’?

A process is a collection of virtual memory space, code, data, and system resources. A thread is code that is to be serially executed within a process. A processor executes threads, not processes, so each application has at least one process, and a process always has at least one thread of execution, known as the primary thread. A process can have multiple threads in addition to the primary thread

Thread – is stream of executable code within process. They are light weight process. All thread with in a process  share process instruction,code & data segment,open file descriptor,signal handler,userID and GroupID. Thread has its own set of register including program counter,stack pointer 

 

What is this line in the shell script do ?#!/bin/ksh?

To invoke the shell indirectly this line is added as the first line in the file.This particular line invokes korn shell

 

 

What is use of “cut” command? Give some examples.

Cut – Utility used to cut/Strip out the required data/text from the source.

Cut can be used in three modes,

  Stripping by Character

     cut -c 1-3

  Striping by Byte length

     cut -b -1-72

Stripping by delimiter and fields.

     cut -d “|” -f1

Where   

-d “|” -> Delimiter used in input text to separate columns

-f1 -> Field/Column number  

While processing huge input files, Cut’s performance is far better than awk
