Description
A shell serves as the interface between the user and the operating system, interpreting and translating user commands into instructions for the system kernel. Shell scripts are lightweight, text-based programs for Linux, usually saved with a .sh extension. They combine commands, keywords, functions, and control structures to perform tasks such as executing programs, managing files and processes, running remote operations, and supporting basic programming logic. By automating routine tasks, shell scripting streamlines daily system operations.
Linux supports several shell environments, with Bash (Bourne Again Shell) being the most widely used. Bash, developed for the GNU project, is the primary scripting language for this training. Shell scripts are valued for their speed, simplicity, robust file and string handling, and interactive debugging support. They consolidate repetitive commands into a single executable script, significantly improving productivity. To create a script, write the code in a text editor, save it with a .sh extension, and execute it from the command line. Advanced techniques, such as loops, functions, and logical procedures, enable the development of more complex programs.
This Shell Scripting Training builds foundational knowledge of Bash scripting and core shell programming concepts. It also introduces Cygwin, an open-source platform that allows Unix-based tools and software to run in a stable environment, enabling learners to practice shell scripting beyond native Unix systems.
