Scripts can be a great tool for sysadmins! Many routine tasks can be completed quickly and more efficiently using scripts. A Bash script is nothing more than a collection of commands listed in the order you would do them if you executed them one at the time. Some scripts are complex as they perform multiple commands using multithreading. When preparing to write a script that will perform a specific task, first determine what commands are necessary and the order in which they should be executed. Create a text file and add each command in the proper order. Execute each of the commands, one at a time, to determine each one works properly and that you received the desired results. After creating the file, make it executable; otherwise, it is just a normal file that contains information. Next, run the script.
