Linux | 20. Aliases

Introduction Continuing from the previous lecture (Linux | 19. File Search: find, locate, which), the which command cannot locate the ll command because it is not an executable file formally listed in the $PATH, but rather an alias. For detailed information about the alias command alias, you can refer to the video in this lecture. … Read more

Understanding Users and Groups in Linux

Understanding Users and Groups in Linux

Introduction There are two main reasons for introducing the concepts of users and groups:1. When providing bioinformatics servers (Why use servers for bioinformatics analysis?), some students ask: Is my data stored on the server secure? Will someone be able to view and steal my data? This question can be answered as follows: Linux has a … Read more
