Shell scripting is an important part of process automation in Linux. Scripting helps you write a sequence of commands in a file and then execute them.

This saves you time because you don't have to write certain commands again and again. You can perform daily tasks efficiently and even schedule them for automatic execution.

You can also set certain scripts to execute on startup such as showing a particular message on launching a new session or setting certain environment variables.

Introduction to the Bash Shell
The Linux command line is provided by a program called the shell. Over the years, the shell program has evolved to cater to various options.

Different users can be configured to use different shells. But most users prefer to stick with the current default shell. The default shell for many Linux distros is the GNU Bourne-Again Shell (bash). Bash is succeeded by Bourne shell (sh).
