You will continue our use of Bash Shell scripting by first creating a Bash Shell script that will allow the Linux sysadmin to select their created VMs for backup to root's home directory. Afterwards you will download, view and run a couple Bash Shell scripts that use the virsh command to start and stop your virtual machines. #xOpen a Bash shell terminal and login as root.# Use a text editor (such as <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">vi</span></code></b> or <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">nano</span></code></b>) to create a Bash Shell script called: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">backupVM.bash</span></code></b> in /root's home directory.# Enter the following text content into your text-editing session:<code style="color:#3366CC;font-family:courier;font-size:.9em;margin-left:20px;"><br>::#!/bin/bash # Forces script to run in the bash shell::::::# backupVM.bash::# Purpose: Creates system info report::#<br># USAGE: ./report.bash::#::# Author: *** INSERT YOUR NAME ***::# Date: *** CURRENT DATE ***::::::if [ $HOME != "root" ] # only runs if logged in as root::then<br> echo "You must be logged in as root." >&2:: exit 1::fi</code><br><ol><li value="4">Save your editing session, but remain in the text editor.</li><li>This shell script is designed particularly for your centos1, centos2, and centos3 VMS.</li><li>The code displayed below will prompt the user if they wish for all VMs to be backed-up; otherwise, allow the user the option of specifying which VMs to be backed-up.
