Shell script
A shell script is a
script
written for the
shell
, or
command line interpreter
, of an
operating system
. It is often considered a simple
domain-specific programming language
. Typical operations performed by shell scripts include file manipulation, program execution, and printing text. Usually, shell script refers to scripts written for a
Unix shell
, while
COMMAND.COM
(
DOS
) and
cmd.exe
(
Windows
) command line scripts are usually called
batch files
, but here properties of both are discussed.
