sample script

[iyyappan]

Hai,

I m new to scripting can any one help me...
how script will help us to make administration task easy?
Give me some sample script or web link where i can get the scripting example

[ypankaj]

for administration, we use different utilities such as command-line chains, scripts that are used to simplify different processes. There are many existing shell scripts on a Linux system, bash is the default one. A shell script, is nothing but a program containing a set of executable commands;

Suppose you want to create a user and copy some files in his home directory. then we can do this using some sequence of commands or using generalized shell script, so better to use shell script.

see this link : Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial - A Beginner's handbook

Hope that helps.

Pankaj.
