Overview

This lab prepares you for the Linux+ exam by teaching you how to work with BASH shell scripts.

Shell scripting allows you to take a complex sequence of commands, place them into a file, and then run the file as a program. This saves you the time of having to type a long sequence of commands that you routinely use.

This lab will focus on how to create simple shell scripts. For the purpose of this lab, we will assume that you know how to use an editor. Feel free to use the editor of your choice: vi, nano, gedit, or any other editor that you like.
