In this course, we'll begin with an overview of Linux shell scripting, including covering common commands used in scripting such as tee, awk, sed, grep and egrep. We will then discuss script comparison operators, how to pipe command output to other commands and how to use input and output redirection. Next, we'll cover how to use various conditional statements such as "if", and how to use various looping constructs such as "for" and "while". Then, we'll cover how to manage Linux environment and shell script variables followed by working with array variables.
