Administering Linux servers can often involve laborious and repetitive tasks; being able to encapsulate those tasks in scripts saves you time and your work becomes more reliable. In this course, RHEL 8: Creating Shell Scripts, you’ll learn to create shell scripts saving you both valuable time and effort. First, you’ll explore the script header, or shebang, and where scripts need to be located. Next, you’ll discover more advanced syntax by using logic and loops to conditionally process commands.
