Linux Administration and Shell Scripting

Catalog description

This course introduces students to Linux shell scripting. Scripting in the Linux shell is used to automate various repetitive tasks and processes, that system administrators deal with on a daily basis. Often, performing simple tasks, such as file management, can be done more quickly from the command line than from a fancy graphical interface. Students learn basic shell scripting techniques and develop scripting skills needed for Unix/Linux System Admin istration courses, which also include how to analyze, design, write, test, and debug shell scripts.
