Guided Exercices- Shell Scripting

Exercise_1 - Write a shell script that prints “Shell Scripting is Fun!” on

the screen
#!/bin/bashecho “Shell Scripting is Fun!”

Output
[svimukthi@sanka Shell_Scripting]$ ./exe1.sh
Shell Scripting is Fun!

Exercise_2 - Modify the shell script from exercise 1 to include a variable.

The variable will hold the contents of the message “Shell Scripting is

Fun!”
#!/bin/bash
NAME=”Shell Scripting is Fun!”
echo $NAME

Output
[svimukthi@sanka Shell_Scripting]$ ./exe2.sh
Shell Scripting is Fun!

Exercise_3 - Store the output of the command “hostname”


in a variable. Display “This script is running on _.” where
“_” is the output of the “hostname” command.
#!/bin/bash
HOSTNAME=$(hostname)
echo “This script is running on $HOSTNAME”

Output
[svimukthi@sanka Shell_Scripting]$ ./exe3.sh
This script is running on vimukthi
Exercise_4 - Write a shell script to check to see if the file “file_path”

exists. If it does exist, display “file_path passwords are enabled.” Next,

check to see if you can write to the file. If you can, display “You have

permissions to edit “file_path.””If you cannot, display “You do NOT have

permissions to edit “file_path””

#!/bin/bashFILE=”/home/svimukthi/Assignment/sanka”if [ -e “$FILE”
]
then
echo “$FILE passwords are enabled”
fiif [ -x “$FILE” ]
then
echo “You have permition to execute $FILE” else
echo “You do Not have permissions to execute $FILE”
fi

Output
[svimukthi@sanka Shell_Scripting]$ ./exe4.sh
/home/svimukthi/Assignment/sanka passwords are enabled
You have permition to execute /home/svimukthi/Assignment/sanka

Exercise_5 - Write a shell script that displays

“man”,”bear”,”pig”,”dog”,”cat”,and “sheep” on the screen with each

appearing on a separate line. Try to do this in as few lines as possible.

#!/bin/bash
ANIMALS=”man bear pig dog cat sheep”
for ANIMAL in $ANIMALS
do
echo $ANIMAL
done

Output
[svimukthi@sanka Shell_Scripting]$ ./exe5.sh
man
bear
pig
dog
cat
sheep

Exercise_6 - write a shell script that prompts the user for a name of a file

or directory and reports if it is a regular file, a directory, or another type

of file. Also perform an ls command against the file or directory with the

long listing option.


#!/bin/bash
echo “Enter the file path”
read FILE
if [ -f “$FILE” ]
then
echo “$FILE is a reguler file”
elif [ -d “$FILE” ]
then
echo “$FILE is a directory”
else
echo “$FILE is another type of file”
fi
ls -l $FILE

Output
[svimukthi@sanka Shell_Scripting]$ ./exe6.sh
Enter the file path
/home/svimukthi/sanka
/home/svimukthi/sanka is a directory

Exercise_7 - Modify the previous script to that it accepts the file or

directory name as an argument instead of prompting the user to enter it.

#!/bin/bash

FILE=$1
if [ -f “$FILE” ]
then
echo “$FILE is a reguler file”
elif [ -d “$FILE” ]
then
echo “$FILE is a directory”
else
echo “$FILE is another type of file”
fils -l $FILE

Output
[svimukthi@sanka Shell_Scripting]$ ./exe7.sh
/home/svimukthi/sanka
/home/svimukthi/sanka is a directory
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 svimukthi svimukthi 30 Nov 13 20:18 hs
-rw-rw-r — . 1 svimukthi svimukthi 12 Nov 12 12:09 sanka.txt
d — x — — — . 2 svimukthi svimukthi 20 Dec 13 18:53 test

Exercise_8 - Modify the previous script to accept an unlimited number of

files and directories as arguments.

#!/bin/bash
FILES=$@
for FILE in $FILES
do
if [ -f “$FILE” ]
then
echo “$FILE is a reguler file”
elif [ -d “$FILE” ]
then
echo “$FILE is a directory”
else
echo “$FILE is another type of file”
fi
ls -l $FILE done
