CB UNIX
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Columbus UNIX, or CB UNIX, was a variant of the UNIX operating system used internally at Bell Labs[1] for administrative databases and transaction processing.[2] It was developed at the Columbus, Ohio branch, based on Unix V6, V7 and PWB.[3] It was little-known outside the company.
CB UNIX was developed to address deficiencies inherent in Research Unix, notably the lack of interprocess communication (IPC) and file locking, considered essential for a database management system. Several Bell System operation support system products were based on CB UNIX such as Switching Control Center System. The primary innovations were power-fail restart, line disciplines, terminal types, and IPC features.[4]
The interprocess communication features developed for CB UNIX were message queues, semaphores and shared memory support. These eventually appeared in mainstream Unix systems starting with System V in 1983, and are now collectively known as System V IPC.[2]
