Shell scripting in Linux

• Shell scripting in Linux involves writing a series of commands in a


script file, which can then be executed to perform tasks automatically.
• Shell scripts are powerful for automating repetitive tasks, managing
system processes, and configuring network settings.
• 1. Basic Structure of a Shell Script
• A shell script starts with a "shebang" line, which tells the system
which interpreter to use. Here’s the structure of a simple script:
• #!/bin/bash
• # This is a comment
• echo "Hello, World!" # Print Hello, World! to the screen
• Save this script with a .sh extension (e.g., hello.sh) and make it
executable:
• 2. Variables
• You can define variables without any special symbols, and access
them using the $ symbol.
• #!/bin/bash
• name="Alice"
• echo "Hello, $name"
• 3. User Input
• Read input from the user with the read command:
• #!/bin/bash
• echo "Enter your name:"
• read name
• echo "Hello, $name!"
• 4. Conditionals
Use if statements to make decisions:

• bash
• Copy code
• #!/bin/bash
• echo "Enter a number:"
• read number

• if [ $number -gt 10 ]; then


• echo "The number is greater than 10"
• else
• echo "The number is 10 or less"
• fi
• 5. Loops
• Loops allow you to repeat actions multiple times.

• For Loop
• #!/bin/bash
• for i in 1 2 3 4 5;
• do
• echo "Number $i“
• done
• While Loop
• #!/bin/bash
• count=1
• while [ $count -le 5 ];
• do
• echo "Count: $count" ((count++))
• done
