Welcome to Linux Bash!
Thank you for visiting our website, here you will find the best content for managing your servers operating system, Linux.
Bash (Bourne Again Shell) is the free and enhanced version of the Bourne shell distributed with Linux and GNU operating systems. Linux comes in a few flavours but all run the same Linux Bash format. Bash is a command processor that typically runs in a text window where the user types commands that cause actions. Bash can also read and execute commands from a file, called a shell script. In order to take advantage of all Linux' features, a good understanding of Bash is advised.
At first sight Bash appears to be a simple command/reply system, where users enter commands and Bash returns the results after those commands are run. However, Linux Bash is more than that, it is a programming platform whereby users are able to write programs that accept input and produce output using commands in scripts. A shell then runs these commands from the executable files (a.k.a. scripts). Scripts are often given the sh
file type, which is where we got inspiration for our project domain, linuxbash.sh
