“GNU/Linux is a remarkable operating system that comes with a
complete development environment that is stable, reliable, and
extremely powerful. The shell, being the native interface to
communicate with the operating system, is capable of controlling
the entire operating system. An understanding of shell scripting
helps you to have better awareness of the operating system and
helps you to automate most of the manual tasks with a few lines of
script, saving you an enormous amount of time. Shell scripts can
work with many external command-line utilities for tasks such as
querying information, easy text manipulation, scheduling task
running times, preparing reports, sending mails, and so on. There
are numerous commands on the GNU/Linux shell, which are documented
but hard to understand.“In this article we will take a look at some of the tips and
tricks on working with Linux Shell Script.”
