Welcome to the Masters Education Program (MEP) by PARSEC Group! We are excited to introduce our first publicly available training series, "OpenVMS for UNIX Users".

This four-part seminar is designed to introduce users of the various UNIX platforms to the OpenVMS operating system. In it, we'll take your well-known Unix /Linux /Tru64 /etc. commands and learn what the equivalent command would be within OpenVMS. Naturally, this means that a system manager familiar with OpenVMS may be able to reverse engineer the Unix style commands as well.

Part 3 of "OpenVMS for UNIX Users"

In this portion of the seminar, we talk about how to determine how your disks are configured and how to edit a file.

Disk, File, and Folder Size / Usage Commands - Now let’s suppose you need to know the disk space utilization of an entire directory structure. In UNIX you’d use the du or df command, depending on what you seek, while in OpenVMS you’ll use the DIR /GRAND /SIZE command or the SHOW DEVICE /MOUNT command.

File Editing - This should be self-explanatory, but you'll need to know how to do the most simplistic tasks within one of the editors on OpenVMS. Much like how Unix may have either emacs or vi or both, OpenVMS has multiple ones as well. Topics include:

• What Applications can be used to Edit Files
• Using the Editor
  • EDT
  • EVE

Stay Tuned for the Full Series!

This is just Part 3 of the series! In the next session we'll cover:

• Administration Commands, Informational Commands, and PIPE
