Unix & Shell scripting

How This Course Will Help Your Career

Unix is a family of operating systems that originated in the 1970s. It is known for its multitasking, multiuser capabilities and a set of powerful command-line tools. Shell scripting, on the other hand, refers to writing scripts or programs using a Unix shell, such as the Bourne shell (sh), the Bash shell (bash), or other compatible shells.<br><br>Shell scripting allows users to automate repetitive tasks, perform system administration tasks, and combine the power of various command-line tools to create complex workflows.
