Red Hat Enterprise Linux Shell Scripting Fundamentals
In this course, we start out with the very basics of what a script is and how to create a simple one, then finish the course by discussing how to use variables, positional parameters, conditionals, loops, and functions. All concepts are explained and demonstrated so even viewers with no knowledge of scripting can learn.
