Learn Linux Shell Scripting – Fundamentals of Bash 4.4: Create and maintain powerful Bash scripts for automation and administration
Shell scripts allow us to program commands in chains and have the system execute them as a scripted event, just like batch files.

The next set of chapters will focus on helping you understand Linux under the hood and what Bash provides the user. Soon, you will have embarked on your journey along the command line.
You will now begin writing actual scripts instead of commands, and will be introduced to practical applications for scripts. The final set of chapters will deep dive into the more advanced topics in shell scripting. These advanced topics will take you from simple scripts to reusable, valuable programs that exist in the real world.
