Shell Scripting
get the name of your shell prompt
echo $SHELL

Bash is a Unix shell and command language which can run Shell Script files

If you are working on Windows machine


You do not need to install Ubuntu or any other Linux Distros unless your
scripts need the support of the real Linux kernel.

We can use any of the methods.

1. Execute Shell Script file using WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux)
2. Execute Shell Script using Ubuntu on Windows 10
Shell scripts have several required constructs that tell the shell environment what to do and
when to do it.

The shell is, a real programming language, complete with variables, control structures, etc.

echo "What is your name?" - to print something

read command which takes the input from the keyboard and assigns it as the value of the
variable
read x
echo “$x”

Assigning value simply, abc = “hello”


echo “$abc”

We can unset the value too.


unset abc

like, expr or awk

There must be spaces between operators and


expressions.
The complete expression should be enclosed between ‘
‘,backtick.
echo "Enter the Number"
