::#'''Scripting for Lab1'''. Lab 1 could be modified to have students generate a report regarding the collection of Linux information after an install. Certainly '''command substitution ''' could be taught and to reinforce '''redirection ''' >> to add content to a filename (i.e. not over-ride). It would be interesting to expose students to the '''zenity ''' command to allow a menu to give user choice of report elements to include in the generated report. Perhaps a link to a "fancy" Bash shell script to generate a web-page so students can view the contents in a nice format. This scripting element could easily be added to assignment #1.<br><br>OPS435 Elements:<ul><li>'''command substitution''' (shell grammar?)</li><li>'''redirection''' (&gt; vs &gt;&gt;)></li><li>'''IO Stream vs Graphical Interaction''' (eg. zenity)</li><li>'''Scripting Samples (View and adapt'''- don't "re-invent the wheel completely")</li></ul>
