How To Execute a Command with a Shell Script in Linux?

The user can communicate with the system using Shell, a command-line interpreter. Taking user inputs and showing the results are its responsibilities.

Shell scripts consist of a set of instructions written in the correct order for them to be executed. Variables, commands, loops, and functions may all be included in these scripts. Complex commands and repeated chores can be made simpler with the help of scripts.

To execute a command using a shell script in Linux, follow these steps:

1. Create the environment in accuweb.cloud dashboard

2. To write a shell script, open the terminal

nano arscript.sh

4. In the script file, add the following lines:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello, World!"
ls -l 

# List files in the current directory

5. Add an execute permission to the file to avoid permission-denied errors during execution. Use the chmod command to provide the script execution permissions:

chmod +x arscript.sh

6. Execute the Script

./arscript.sh

Conclusion:

Executing commands using a shell script in Linux is a simple yet powerful way to automate tasks. By mastering shell scripting, you can efficiently automate repetitive tasks, manage system operations, and streamline workflows in Linux.
