Join Grant McWilliams for an in-depth discussion in this video Next steps, part of Linux System Engineer: Bash Shell Scripting for Automation.
- [Grant] In this course, we learned enough Bash scripting…to get started in automating tasks.…We learned about how to create a shell script…and how to make our scripts look…and act like regular commands.…We talked about variable scope and how to use…Bash's debug mode to help find problems in our scripts.…Next, we talked about the different methods…of getting data into our script,…including using positional arguments,…command options, parsing files, and even piping data to it.…We also talked about how to get data out of our scripts.…Most every script will have conditions and loops,…so we talked about the different conditionals…and looping mechanisms in Bash.…
Lastly, we solved some real-world problems with Bash.…If you want to learn more about Bash shell scripting,…you may want to check out Linux: Bash Shell and Scripts…by Kevin Dankwardt in the course library.…Again, my name is Grant McWilliams…and thank you for watching.…
