How to create a shell script in Linux?

To create a Linux shell script, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a text editor, such as vi or nano.
  2. Start the script in a bash shell.
  3. Write the commands and logic for the script in the following lines.
  4. Save the document and exit the text editor.
  5. Give execute permission to the script.sh file.
  6. Can you provide the script file named script.sh?
  7. Run the script named script.sh.

Here is a simple example script that will print “Hello, World!” to the terminal.

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello, World!"

Create a file called hello.sh, paste the above content into the file, save and close the text editor. Then add executable permission to the script using chmod +x hello.sh. Finally, run the script using the command ./hello.sh, and you should see “Hello, World!” output on the terminal.
