Learning Shell Scripting Through Real Automation Projects

This week, I focused on learning Bash shell scripting by building real Linux automation scripts instead of just studying commands.

What I covered:

  • Linux shell & shebang
  • Variables, arrays, strings
  • User input & arithmetic
  • Conditionals, loops, functions
  • Arguments & redirection
  • Error handling and logging
  • Automation using At & cron

Mini Projects Built:

  • RAM Monitoring Script – checks free memory with threshold alerts
  • Disk Usage Monitoring – monitors disk space with alert logic
  • Log Archiving Script – compresses and archives system logs
  • User Management Script – create, delete, and list users

This hands-on approach helped me understand how shell scripting is used in system administration and automation.
