shell is an environment which provides an interface to the UNIX system. It gathers inputs from the user and executes programs according to it. Shell scripts, commands and programs can be run in the shell environment. The basic prompt which is also known as the command prompt in Shell is the ‘$’ sign.

In the UNIX system, there are basically 2 types of shells; known as the Bourne Shell and the C Shell.

 

Shell Programming also known as Shell Script is a program that runs on the Shell commands. It consists of one or more shell commands which are created using the text editor based on the user’s choice. These shell programs are executed just like shell commands which have permission modes and should have the correct set of permissions to execute a program.

 

In this Shells and Shell Programming training by Uplatz, you will get a detailed understanding of the Shell and Shell Programming basics along with all the commands and functionalities involved in the Shell Programming language. Moreover, after the successful completion of this Shell Programming tutorial, students will be handed over a Certificate of Completion from Uplatz along with having the course access for lifetime.
