they keep evolving with time. Some of the important types of operating
systems which are most commonly used.
They are:
1. Batch Operating System
2. Time-Sharing Operating Systems
3.Distributed Operating System
4.Network Operating System
5.ParallelOperatingSystem
6.Real Time operating System
1. Batch Operating System

This type of operating system does not interact with the computer
directly. There is an operator which takes similar jobs having same
requirement and group them into batches. It is the responsibility of
operator to sort the jobs with similar needs.

 Batch systems are hard to debug .
 It is sometime costly .
 The other jobs will have to wait for an unknown time if any job fails.

from a single user or different users also.
Advantages of Time-Sharing System :

 Each task gets an equal opportunity


 Less chances of duplication of software
 CPU idle time can be reduced
Disadvantages of Time-Sharing System :

 Reliability problem
 One must have to take care of security and integrity of user programs and
data
 Data communication problem

Examples of Time-Sharing OS : Multicast, Unix etc.
