Hi,
I am new to Talend. Wanted to know if we can execute Unix scripts in TALEND.?
The scripts are existing scripts and are running using informatica command task.

tSystem is for executing only unix commands right? How will i use that to execute a shell script which does many operation like inserting a table, updating a table, creating a parm file in unix server, call a java script and many more.
Also to mention i have installed Talend open studio for big data in windows server.
Should i install in unix server to run the scripts? Is it possible?

tSystem component execute an operating system command, where job runs (windows, linux, etc..). So it can execute os native commands or programs (executables) or batches (.bat, .vbs, .sh,...), obviously it depends by operating system.
For others, I suggest you to start reading documentation and make some test.
You can find a guide for components (paramters, examples, etc..) and a guide for program use. They are free.
