Day 4 Task: Basic Linux Shell Scripting For Devops Engineers

Shell scripting allows developers to automate tasks by writing scripts that utilize shell commands. A shell script file uses the .sh extension and contains shell commands and programming constructs. The shebang line #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh specifies the shell interpreter to use. Example scripts take user input, compare values, and print output.

text.
Tasks:
I) Explain in your own words and examples, what is Shell Scripting for DevOps.
A Shell is an environment that interprets user request to run programs. A Shell Scripting

bash Sample.sh

II) What is #!/bin/bash? can we write #!/bin/sh as well?


The shebang or bang line , #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh when used in scripts is used to instruct the operating
system to use bash or sh as a command interpreter.

III) Write a Shell Script which prints “I will complete #90DaysOofDevOps challenge”

IV) Write a Shell Script to take user input, input from arguments and print the
variables.
V) Write an Example of If else in Shell Scripting by comparing 2 numbers
