Abstract

In this paper, we've looked at some of the basics involved in creating a shell script, as well as some specifics like: file creation, permissions, spawned subshells, execution in a non-PATHed directory, the `hash-bang hack', comments, positional parameters, command substitution, and variables.

Keywords: PATHed directory, TMTOWTDI, UNIX, bash
