This course gives an introduction to the writing of Linux shell scripts using the Bash shell. The course is suitable as preparation for the RHCSA and CompTIA Linux+ examinations.
An editor will be used to create and test shell scripts which will cover the use of variables and arrays, select statements, loop constructs, sub-scripts and functions.
Although based on Ubuntu or Redhat (CentOS) Linux, the commands and principles learnt may be applied to all other versions of Linux, including SUSE, Mint and Arch and to all versions of Unix including Solaris and AIX.
The course takes the format of a workshop, with a mix of lecture, working examples and practical exercises. Although the content may be customised, at least 2 days are normally needed to cover the core elements.
Full course notes are provided along with sample files and free software tools for use in accessing a Linux server.
