BASH

BASH

                                                   Bash ( Bourne Again Shell Manual ) is a UNIX shell written by Brian Fox for the GNU Project as a free software replacement for the Bourne shell. Bash is a command processor, allowing the user to type commands which cause actions.  A program was responsible for mediating the transaction between the operator and the machine, i.e., the command interpreter or shell.

There are two primary ways to use the shell: 

interactively and by writing shell scripts.

• interactive mode, the user types a single command 
• shell scripting, the user types anything from a few lines to an entire program into a text editor, then executes the resulting text file as a shell script.

Why Bash?

• System administration
• Ubiquitous
• Reusable
• Versatile
