Shell Scripting

This document provides an overview of shell scripting basics including creating scripts, executing scripts, making scripts executable, examples of scripts using if/else statements, for loops, while loops, and case statements. Shell scripts are text files that contain commands to automate tasks and applications. The vi text editor is used to create script files which are then executed using bash and made executable with chmod. Examples demonstrate basic and nested if/else logic, for loops using counting and reading input, a while loop, and a case statement to select operations.

• It is useful for
– To automate
– Creating applications

Creating shell scripts
• Text editor vi is used to create a
text file containing commands
• Executing script
$ bash filename

• Make the script executable


$ chmod a+x filename
Examples
$ vi file1
echo "enter the source file"
read f1
echo "enter the destination file"
read f2
cp $f1 $f2
echo "file is copied"
$ vi file2
read -p "enter source file" f1
read -p "enter destination file" f2
mv $f1 /opt/$f2
echo "file is moved"
If statements
$ vi file3
read a
read b
if [ $a -gt $b ] ; then
echo "a is greater $a";
else
echo "b is greater $b";
fi
Nested If
• $ vi file4
read a b c
if [ $a -gt $b ] && [ $a -gt $c ]; then
echo “ a is greater $a”;
elif [ $b -gt $a ] && [ $b -gt $c ]; then
echo “b is greater $b”;
else
echo “c is greater $c”;
fi
For loop
$ vi file5
for i in {0..5} for i in $(seq 1 2 10)
do do
echo "$i"; echo "$i";
done done
• $ vi file6
read n
for ((i=1; i<=$n; i++))
do
echo "$i";
done
While loop
$ vi file6 while [ $i -le $n ]

echo "how many users you want do


to add" echo " creatibng user $name$i"
read n useradd $name$i
echo "enter the stating name of i=`expr $i + 1`
the user" done
read name
i=1
Case Statement
• $ vi file8

read choice
echo "enter the num1 num2"
read n1 n2
case $choice in
1)echo "ADD : ` expr $n1 + $n2 `";;
2)echo “MUL : ` expr $n1 \* $n2 `”;;
esac
