     Controls resources for other programs
     Task Scheduler
     Manages
     Memory
     Disks
     Networks
     I/O services – (i.e. mouse / keyboard)
     Security
    UNIX Operating System
     Kernel – Core of UNIX system
     Manages all hardware devices
     Controls programs
     Functions
     Manage memory
     Schedule CPU processing
     Transfer data
     Interpret and execute Shell instructions
     Enforce permissions

     Shell – Program
     Command Line interface – Text only
     Interface to the operating system (i.e. MS-DOS)
     Used to execute other Shells (i.e. program.exe)
