Answer:-

1. The shell script is part of the automation process in Linux, where we use a set of Linux commands and execute them to perform specific tasks. A shell script may include comments, where we can describe the steps. It starts with “#!/bin/bash”. Operations, that we may perform with the help of Shell Script are file manipulations, text operations & printing, and many more. Each Shell Scripting file will have a “.sh” extension, e.g. “file1.sh” Example:-

   Go to terminal git bash type vim file1.sh#!/bin/bash

   echo "Hello world"

   echo "My name is Amit Kumar"

   save:- press keyboard <esc> then <:wq>

   chack file1.sh print:- cat file1.sh, ls-la to check file permission, chmod 777 file1.sh

   ./file1.sh - this command shows my file content print.

2. #!/bin/bash is known as shebang. Script files use the shebang line “#!/bin/bash” to set bash.

   Yes, we can use #!/bin/sh. “bash” and “sh” are two different shells. Bash is sh, with more features and better syntax.

3. Script:

   #!/bin/bash

   echo “90DaysOfDevOps challenge”

4. Script:

   #!/bin/bash

   echo "Hello, I am Jarvis! What is your name?"

   read var name

   echo "Nice to meet you $var name"
