Bash Programming
Basic to intermediate shell scripting.
One of the big areas wherein Linux and Unix beat out the competition is automation, and bash scripting is foundational to achieving this goal. We'll start with very simple scripts, and then begin to add features like globbing and command substituation, loops and logic. Time permitting, we'll also cover I/O redirection and features for making your scripts recyclable. Lastly, we'll take a peek into how to create a System V service management script from scratch. In this session we'll get an exciting look into the powerful features available in the shell most distributions use by default.
