SHELL SCRIPTING
Shell scripting is a method of writing scripts for a command-line shell in Unix, Linux, or other operating systems to automate tasks. A shell script is a text file containing a sequence of commands that the shell executes as if they were typed manually. Shell scripting is widely used for system administration, automating repetitive tasks, managing files, and running batch processes efficiently.
Shell scripts can include variables, loops, conditional statements, and functions, making them powerful tools for automating complex workflows. They interact directly with the operating system, allowing tasks such as user management, file manipulation, software installation, and process monitoring to be performed automatically.
