Unix ACC

Unix Accounts


ITD Supports Unix and provides Unix accounts for students whose studies contain a Unix component.

The UTS General Access Computing Facilities do not contain a Unix laboratory or workstations. However students can activate a Unix account that can be used within the PC or MAC machines through a Telnet Program.

General Usage Rules

As a student at UTS this account is available for coursework only and all UTS IT policies apply.There is a 10MB disk space quota for your account.

None of the following is allowed:

  • IRC
  • Storage of material unrelated to coursework including illegal software or pornography
  • Hacking or harassment
  • Playing Games
  • Hogging of system resources

No-one else is allowed to use your account. Always log out after use. If any of these rules are violated, your Unix account will be locked and can only be unlocked by going to the IT Support Centre and showing your current student ID card.

All University Computing Facilities are to be used exclusively for purposes concerning your study. Misuse, damage to property, security breaches, harassment or offensive behaviour will result in exclusions and disciplinary action. The Acceptable Use of IT Facilities Policy covers all UTS IT facilities including e-mail accounts.

Just as there are many varieties of UNIX, there are many UNIX standards:

  • Probably the oldest standard that people still refer to is AT&T's 1985 System V Interface Definition (SVID). This standard shows up, for instance, in man pages describing the standards compliance of functions that have been in the C library "forever."
  • Meanwhile, X/Open (now the Open Group) was developing "portability guides" with names like XPG2, XPG3, and so on. XPG1 was actually released in 1995. The XPG guides are largely subsumed into newer specs, but once again, are still referred to sometimes in documentation.
  • The IEEE's POSIX standard showed up in 1990 with updates in 1992 and 1993 and a second edition in 1996. It's still a viable standard, although it has suffered from poor accessibility. POSIX specs have names like 1003.x; for instance, 1003.1 and 1003.2, which refer to different parts of the standard, or 1003.1-1988 and 1003.1-1990, which refer to two versions of the standard.
  • The fairly ominous sounding "Spec 1170" (also known as "UNIX 98" or "Single Unix Specification") is probably the most complete specification; it is produced by the Open Group, and is effectively a descendant of the XPG series. In practice, this is "the" UNIX standard these days, although it's a little large; this has had an impact on conformance testing.
  • The Linux Standards Base is not strictly a UNIX standard, but it's a standardization effort relevant to a very large number of developers working with code designed to run "on UNIX."

Listening Exam, Tomorrow.

I'm not feeling good now.The reason is mainly caused by the fucking writing test I took this morning .
But from this failure ,I work out some things ,my weaknesses :
- Not preparing the exam well : Not writing regularly and being lazy-->rushing in the exam .(Orgarnising Skill)
- In the exam,focusing too much on the first part ,not divide the time properly (time managing is really bad) -->Managing skill

Based on this ,I warn u again .There is no such a successful career if I keep going on like this .

Tomorrow will be the listening exam ,my last chance ,(to be honest ,It can't help much ) .But I need it good to get motivated .That's it .

Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Things need to be done in this week:

-Transferring fund from ACB to ANZ

- Going to ask to some stuff abt housing :
+Is the rental fees fixed ,will it increase if there have a change in housing market?
+ Is there any space for parking car if I have visitors ?
