A Guide to Writing Shell Scripts

by Tom

Shell (sh,ksh,bash) scripting in 20 pages is a comprehensive tutorial that will introduce you to the skill of writing shell scripts in UNIX – the powerful operating system that Mac OSX is based on.  This is today’s tip from Digital Media Minute  because I think it would be a great way for people who consider themselves non-programmers or laymen to begin to familiarize themselves with the concepts involved in shell scripts, without feeling like they are over their head. If you’ve heard the term and you’re curious, I cannot point you to a better place to begin your education regarding these helpful tech tools.

A shell is simply a program that reads commands and executes them and is a nice way to customize your system. Try it!
