Shell Scripting
Shell scripting is required for scheduled jobs, such as cron jobs, and is highly recommended for the automation of repeated tasks. By automating those tasks, it is less likely that mistakes will be made or that steps are forgotten. These scripts may be for the automation of the backups of the system, management of user accounts, or monitoring of the system status and reporting issues to the system administrator.
PARSEC Group's experts can create the scripts you need to get the job done correctly. We will put in proper error checking and processing; use external functions when necessary and the internal capabilities of the shell when available; and provide documentation on the use and workings of the script when complete.
PARSEC Group can develop your scripts using one of the shells installed on your system. Each shell has its own strengths and weaknesses. Different systems have different shells available. The most commonly requested shells include:
- Korn Shell
- Bourne Shell
- Bash (Bourne Again Shell)
- C Shell
- tchs (TENEX C Shell)
