Linux shell scripts can be used to automate and schedule repetitive tasks. The proper management of scripts involves an understanding of how to work with script components such as variables, parameters, functions, redirection, as well as conditional and looping constructs. 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. Lastly, we'll create and run Linux shell scripts followed by scheduling and troubleshooting scripts. This course can be used to prepare to the Linux+ XK0-005 certification exam.
