A Short Tutorial for the UNIX System for the JEOL JBX-9300FS Console

When you login to the console, you might see a desktop similar to the one shown in Fig. 1. Notice that unlike Windows® the desktop here consists of a tab at the bottom which you can use to select different options. Also notice that you have the option of switching between four different desktops, “ebxmenu”, “STAY OUT”, “achk/jbxfiler”, and “jdf/sdf”. Each of these desktops is dedicated to a set of applications as suggested by their names. Of course, be sure that you’re NEVER in the “STAY OUT” desktop.

• The home directory is /usr/users/eb0/ebtest/. To check the current directory in the terminal window, type “pwd”.
• To edit your job-deck or schedule file, you need to open the text editor. To do this, click on the icon on the tab that has a note-pad with a pencil on it (Fig. 1).
• To open a terminal window, click on the small arrow above the “notepad” icon, Fig. 2. This brings up a “Personal Applications” menu. Now click on the “Terminal” icon.

• In the terminal window, you need to know a basic set of commands to move around. These are as follows.
• ls - list files in current folder
• cd directory1 - change to directory directory1
• mv file1 file2 – moves file1 to file2
• cd - changes to home directory if there is no argument to "cd"
• cp file1 file2 - copy file1 to file2
• rm file1 - remove/delete file1
• & - the "&" at the end of any command forks the process to run in the background
• pwd - list the present working directory
• Be sure to use the following directories for your pattern and job files.
• /usr/users/eb0/ebtest/pattern/ - pattern directory
• /usr/users/eb0/ebtest/job/ - job directory
