:You may have learned about creating and running Bash Shell Scripts in your ULI101 OSL640 course. Shell scripts help Linux users and system administrators to automate repetitive tasks to become more efficient and to help them save time. In order to avoid confusion with syntax, you will not be writing bash scripts in this course. You will however still run bash commands to perform various tasks, e.g. to generate information reports for your newly-installed Linux host machine.
