Automatic script

[GrumpyGerbil]

I want to make some sort of file to automate several processes into one instruction for some1 to type

Is there a way to do this, and can i see a very small and simple example of what it should look like

Thanks

You could create a BASh script which executes a bunch of commands, and then put this file in /bin so everyone can execute it, or if for specific people, put it in their /home/username/bin.

would i just list the instructions out as i would type them into the bash shell??

Open up a text editor of your choice, and then:

#!/bin/bash

command one

command two

Write these commands as you would in bash, e.g. to mount two drives it could be:

#!/bin/bash

mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/happy

mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/unhappy

then make the file execuatable with

chmod +x filename

and you should be able to add that to your /bin file, you might have to specify the PATH if you want to put it in a perticular place that is not /bin.

I hope this helps;
