System administrators are more comfortable running scripts from the command line rather than the GUI for several reasons: - The command line allows users to easily script a sequence of commands to automate tasks rather than performing each step manually in the GUI. - The command line provides more control over the file system and operating system with abilities like copying specific file types between locations with a single command. - Common administration tasks like creating multiple folders can be automated through basic scripts, making operations both more efficient and consistent when performed from the command line rather than manually in the GUI.

2. Many system administrators are still more comfortable running scripts from the command
prompt than within the GUI. Explain the reason

A command line interface enables a user to easily script a sequence of commands to


perform a task or execute a program. Besides, users have much more control and options of
their file system and operating system in a command line interface. For example, users can
easily copy a specific type of file from one location to another with a one-line command. In a
simple operation, such as creating a series of folders, can be done using basic scripts, and in
using these scripts it will find administration becomes not only more efficient but also more
consistent.
