How commands are executing ?

[gsiva]

Hi Folks,

I have a small doubt, the binary commands under /bin and /sbin as well as other path binary files, if you peek deep into that, you can find the difference in the way of normal perl programming and some commands will be like binary files. how are the commands executing like the difference in perl scripting and binary files.

If I correctly understand what you are asking, you want to know what the difference is between binary commands and command scripts? Effectively, not much, although a script will show up in the process table as the interpreter of the script, such as perl, bash, or python, along with any binary commands it might have started or be running.
