Lab 7 - Bash Script

The document discusses bash scripting in Linux. Bash scripts allow a series of commands to be executed from a plain text file rather than typing them individually in the terminal. They have a .sh extension and are executed using ./script. Scripts start with a shebang line (!#/bin/bash) and can include commands, variables, conditional statements like if/else, and loops. Variables are declared with a $ and initialized with an equals sign. Functions can also be defined to group common commands.
