| Time | Narration | |||
| 00:01 | Dear friends, welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Introduction to BASH shell scripting. | |||
| 00:08 | In this tutorial, we will learn | |||
| 00:10 | About different types of Shells | |||
| 00:13 | To write a Bash Shell script and | |||
| 00:16 | To execute it. | |||
| 00:18 | To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with Linux Operating System | |||
| 00:25 | If not, then for relevant Linux tutorials, please visit our website which is as shown. | |||
| 00:32 | For this tutorial I am using | |||
| 00:35 | * Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS and | |||
| 00:39 | GNU Bash version 4.1.10. | |||
| 00:43 | Please note GNU bash version 4 or above is recommended for practice. | |||
| 00:50 | Let us start with an Introduction | |||
| 00:53 | We will see what a Bash Shell is. | |||
| 00:56 | * Bash Shell is a Command language interpreter, that executes commands. | |||
| 01:02 | * These commands are read from the standard input device. | |||
| 01:07 | * The input device can be | |||
| 01:09 | *your keyboard | |||
| 01:11 | * or a simple text file. | |||
| 01:14 | Let me show you what is a Bash Shell. | |||
| 01:16 | Open the terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously on your keyboard . | |||
| 01:24 | This will open the Gnome terminal. | |||
| 01:27 | To check which type of shell we are using, Type echo space dollar sign SHELL (In capital) | |||
| 01:38 | Press Enter. | |||
| 01:40 | You will see the output printed on the next line as slash bin slash bash | |||
| 01:47 | This indicates that we are using the Bash Shell. | |||
| 01:51 | Now Let us know different types of Shells available | |||
| 01:56 | Let us switch back to our slides Bourne Shell | |||
| 02:00 | * This was original UNIX shell written by Stephen Bourne. | |||
| 02:06 | * It lacked interactivity provided by most modern shells today | |||
| 02:11 | C Shell | |||
| 02:12 | It provides features lacking in Bourne Shell | |||
| 02:16 | K Shell | |||
| 02:17 | It was created by David Korn | |||
| 02:20 | It has features of both, B Shell and C Shell, along with some additional features. | |||
| 02:27 | Bash Shell | |||
| 02:30 | * The Bash Shell was developed by GNU Project | - | 02:32 | * It is based on B Shell language. |
| 02:35 | * It has features of C and K Shells. | |||
| 02:40 | TC Shell | |||
| 02:41 | * It is the default Shell of FreeBSD and its descendants. | |||
| 02:46 | Z shell | |||
| 02:49 | * It is a Shell designed for interactive use. | |||
| 02:52 | * It has many useful features of ksh,bash and tcsh. | |||
| 02:58 | Now let us see what a Bash Shell script is. | |||
| 03:02 | The Bash Shell script contains a series of Bash commands in plain text file. | |||
| 03:08 | * It tells the Shell to execute this text file, instead of typing the commands. | |||
| 03:15 | Let us see how to write a simple Bash script. | |||
| 03:20 | We will test the echo command, which will print Hello World on the terminal. | |||
| 03:25 | Go back to the terminal | |||
| 03:29 | Now type echo space within double quotes Hello world | |||
| 03:35 | and press Enter. | |||
| 03:37 | This prints Hello World on the terminal. | |||
| 03:40 | The command worked as expected. | |||
| 03:43 | Now, what if we want to use this command in a file? | |||
| 03:47 | Just put this command in a file and execute that file. | |||
| 03:52 | I will use gedit text-editor for this purpose. | |||
| 03:57 | You are free to use your favourite text-editor. | |||
| 04:00 | I want to create my file on the Desktop. | |||
| 04:03 | So, type cd space Desktop | |||
| 04:07 | Press Enter. | |||
| 04:09 | Now type gedit space hello underscore world dot sh space &'(ampersand sign) | |||
| 04:20 | Gedit is the text editor. Hello underscore world dot sh is the file name and | |||
| 04:27 | we use the & (ampersand) to free up the prompt. | |||
| 04:32 | Now press Enter. | |||
| 04:33 | We have opened a new file named hello_world.sh using gedit. | |||
| 04:40 | Now, type hash exclamation mark front slash bin front slash bash | |||
| 04:47 | This is the first line of every bash script. | |||
| 04:51 | It is called as shebang or bang line. | |||
| 04:55 | Press Enter | |||
| 04:57 | Now, let's add a comment to the file by typing | |||
| 05:00 | hash space my first Bash script | |||
| 05:06 | Remember that any line after hash, is treated as a comment. | |||
| 05:11 | And comments are ignored by the Bash interpreter. | |||
| 05:15 | Now we can add the command which we used earlier. | |||
| 05:19 | Press Enter | |||
| 05:20 | and type echo space within double quotes Hello world | |||
| 05:27 | press Enter. | |||
| 05:28 | Type echo space dollar sign SHELL (In Capital) | |||
| 05:34 | press Enter. | |||
| 05:35 | Type echo space backtick date backtick | |||
| 05:41 | backtick symbol is present on the key which has tilde character. | |||
| 05:47 | Now, click on Save to save the file. | |||
| 05:50 | Let us execute come back to our terminal | |||
| 05:55 | First we have to make the file executable. | |||
| 05:58 | For this type chmod space plus x space hello underscore world dot sh | |||
| 06:09 | and press Enter. | |||
| 06:12 | Now Type | |||
| 06:14 | dot slash hello underscore world dot sh | |||
| 06:19 | Press Enter. | |||
| 06:22 | You can see Hello World is displayed on the terminal. | |||
| 06:27 | The shell type is displayed on the next line. ie slash bin slash bash | |||
| 06:32 | And Day, Month, Time, Time zone and Year are displayed. | |||
| 06:38 | The output may vary depending on the system. | |||
| 06:43 | Let us go back to our slide and summarize | |||
| 06:46 | In this tutorial we have learnt about | |||
| 06:48 | * Different types of Shells | |||
| 06:50 | * Bash Shell | |||
| 06:51 | *Bash Shell script | |||
| 06:52 | To write a simple Shell script and to execute the script. | |||
| 06:57 | As an assignment Write a simple script to display the message -
* “Welcome to Bash learning” | |||
| 07:03 | * and “***************” (asterisks) on separate lines. | |||
