This article focuses on state and output tracking control for positive continuous-time linear systems without overshoot. Linear state feedback controllers are designed respectively to ensure both the system state, and output can unilateral track the reference state and output. In addition, using Lyapunov direct method, the exponential convergence rate of tracking system is calculated. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
