→Creating & Executing Shell Scripts
First, list the INPUTS into the script (eg. prompting user for data, reading data from file, etc), then listing the expected OUTPUTS from the script. You can then list the steps to process the INPUT to provide the OUTPUT (including file storage).
Once you have planned your shell script by listing the sequence of steps (i.e. PROCESSING) in your script, you need to create a file (using a '''text editor''') that will contain your Linux commands.<br><br>'''NOTE:''' Avoid using filenames of already existing Linux Commands to avoid confusion. <br>Using shell script filenames that include the file extension of the shell that the script will run within is recommended.
