Shell Basics
Variables
Variables are the general words which are used to store and manipulate information within a shell program. Variables are fully under user control. These can be created and destroyed at anytime.
Ex: <Variable_name> = <Variable_Value>
TOWN=Delhi ; TOTAL=0 ; DATE= 28Nov05
– Local Variables
Local Variables are the variables that are presented within the current instance of the Shell. These are not available to the any child processes that are started by the current shell. Local variables are defined by users.
– Global Variables
Global Variables are the Variables that are presented within the current shell and also available to any child processes that are started by the current shell.
04/07/23 10:21 PM 5864_ER_FED_ALT 16
Keywords
Keywords are the words which have standard predefined meaning in the shell already. Keywords can not be used as variable names. Keywords are also called as Reserve words.
– List of Keywords
echo read set unset readonly shift
export if else fi while do
done for until case esac break
continue exit return trap wait exec
sleep test
04/07/23 10:21 PM 5864_ER_FED_ALT 17
Environment Variables
Environment Variables are the special variables that are set by the shell and is required by the shell in order to function correctly. These variables are also called as shell variables.
– List of Environment Variables
PATH Defines the path which the shell must search in
HOME Stores the default working directory for the user
LOGNAME Stores the login name of the user
SHELL Defines the name of default working shell
TERM Defines the name of the terminal
PWD Stores the Present working Directory
PS1 Defines the system prompt
IFS Defines the Internal Field Separator

Shell Meta Characters
. Matches any one character
* Represents any combination of any characters
? Represents any one character
[…] Matches any one character from the enclosed list
[!...] Matches any one character except those in the list
Ex:
$ ls a* Lists all files beginning with character a
$ ls a?b? Lists all 4 character filenames whose first character is ‘a’ and third character is ‘b’
$ ls [aeiou]* Lists all the files whose first character is a, e, i, o, u
$ ls [A-Fv-z]* Lists all files whose first character is in the range A to F or v to z
$ ls [!A-Z]* Lists all files whose first character is anything other than in the range of A to Z
04/07/23 10:21 PM 5864_ER_FED_ALT 20
Regular Expressions
A regular expression is a string that can be used to describe several sequences of characters.
^ Matches the beginning of a line
$ Matches the end of a line
\ Used to specify patterns that contains wild cards
^$ Matches a blank line
\< Matches at the beginning of the word
\> Matches at the end of the word
\<\> Matches a complete word

Planning to write a shell script:
Planning:
What is the script required to do? What program components are required in the script? What logical testing conditions are required? Will user input be required? Will any special variables be required?
Preparation:
Organize the components into logical order Keep everything simple to start with Write the components in plain English, and it to shell syntax
04/07/23 10:21 PM 5864_ER_FED_ALT 36
Guidelines for writing Unix Commands/Tools/Scripts
• Standard command format
• Recognize meta-characters (handle multiple files)
• Standard I/O (stdin,stdout, stderr. If file arg is absent use std)
• Keep messages and prompts to a minimum.
• Provide verbose options
• Input/output data should be text whenever possible.
• Use dot files and environment variables for frequently used info.
• Use standard library and tools to save coding effort.
04/07/23 10:21 PM 5864_ER_FED_ALT 37
Simple Program
Consider the following script and observe the output
### Script #1 welcome.sh
echo “Hello! Welcome to SHELL World “
echo “Shell Scripts are very handy to system admins…”
echo “Enjoy the Course”
$ chmod u+x welcome.sh
$ ./welcome.sh
Hello! Welcome to SHELL World
Shell Scripts are very handy to system admins…
Enjoy the Course
04/07/23 10:21 PM 5864_ER_FED_ALT 38
Interactive Script
Script that runs interactively. It takes input from user while execution
###Script #2 interactive.sh
echo “Enter your Name :”
read name
echo “Enter your Designation :”
read design
echo “Enter your Organization name :”
read org
echo “Hello $name!!”
echo “Your Position in $org is $design”

These are the special variables defined by the shell and are numbered $1 thorough $9. These can be used to pass the additional information to the script as arguments. Values can be set to these variables using set command.
Ex:
$ set Shell is a command interpreter
$ echo $1 $2 $3 $4 $5
Variable Description
$0 Name of the command being executed
$n Variable correspond to the argument ( n is b/w 1-9 )

Loops
Loops enable us to execute series of commands multiple times. There are various loops available in shell to perform the repeated execution.
The while loop The until loop The for loop
While and until loops works in a very similar fashion. While loop executes as long as the test condition remains true whereas the until loop executes as long as the test condition remains false.
For loop works slightly different from the while and until. It executes set of commands repeatedly for each item listed in the list. The most common use of for loop is to perform same set of commands for large number of files.

IO redirection
When a command is executed, the result produced is printed to a terminal which is called STDOUT. And the error messages occurred are printed to a special terminal called STDERR. Most of the commands will have STDOUT as their STDERR.
Using the IO redirection operators, we can redirect the output or error messages to any files instead of STDOUT or STDERR. All these IO devices are identified by numbers as follows…
0 Standard In 1 Standard Out 2 Standard Error 2>&1 Redirect standard error to standard out &> Redirect standard error & standard out < Redirect input > Redirect output >> Concatenate output to file << Here Is File for scripts | Pipe
04/07/23 10:21 PM 5864_ER_FED_ALT 67
Sleep, return, break, continue & exit statements
Sleep:
The sleep command is used to suspend execution for a certain amount of time. You provide the number of seconds to suspend as the argument to sleep command.
Return:
The return command is used to return control from a called subroutine to the instruction following the call to that subroutine.
Break:
The break command discontinues the execution of loop immediately and transfers control to the command following the done keyword.
Continue:
The continue command skips the remaining part of the loop and transfers control to the start of the loop for next iteration.
Exit:
The exit command completely terminates the program. It returns an exit code that is optionally provided as argument in the program.

Functions
A subroutine (function, method, procedure, or subprogram) is a portion of code within a larger program, which performs a specific task and is relatively independent of the remaining code. The syntax of POSIX shell includes support for creating self contained subroutines, and for calling and returning from them.
There are many advantages to breaking a program up into subroutines, including:
• reducing the duplication of code in a program (e.g., by replicating useful functionality, such as mathematical functions),
• enabling reuse of code across multiple programs,
• decomposing complex problems into simpler pieces (this improves maintainability and ease of extension),
• improving readability of a program,
• hiding or regulating part of the program
The components of a subroutine may include:
• a body of code to be executed when the subroutine is called
