D85153 - Shell Programming Ed 1

The Shell Programming course provides students with the skills to read, write, and debug UNIX shell scripts. The course begins by describing simple scripts to automate frequently executed commands and continues further by describing conditional logic, user interaction, loops, menus, traps, and functions.

This course is intended for system administrators who have mastered the basics of any flavor of the UNIX OS, such as Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux, and would like to interpret the various boot scripts as well as create their own scripts to automate their day-to-day tasks.

Learn To:

  • Create scripts to automate system administration tasks.
  • Set local and environmental variables.
  • Automate tasks by using regular expression characters with the grep, sed, and nawk utilities.
  • Create interactive scripts by using flow control constructs.
