Advanced Shell Scripting
User Management Scripts
● Automates user tasks like add, modify, and delete.
● Manages passwords, groups, and permissions efficiently.
● Example : Creates a new user account and confirms successful creation
User Addition Script Syntax
● The script begins with "#!/bin/bash", identifying it as a Bash script.
● Syntax: The script follows a sequential structure using essential commands:
'echo', 'read', and 'useradd'
● Script Purpose: Facilitates user account creation through an interactive
process
● Command Structure: Uses 'echo' for prompts, 'read' captures user input, 'sudo
useradd' creates the account ,and final 'echo' print confirmation message.
● chmod +x user.sh - Makes the user.sh script executable by adding
execution permissions.
● ./user.sh - Executes the user.sh script from the current directory.
Linux Process Monitoring
● Shows top 5 CPU processes with sorting
● Lists PID, command name, and CPU usage
Process Monitoring Script Syntax
● Script Purpose: Lists top CPU-consuming processes
● The script starts with "#!/bin/bash"
● Syntax: Combines 'ps' command with sorting and filtering options
● Command Structure: Uses 'ps -eo' for process listing, '--sort=-%cpu' for
sorting, 'head' limits output
● chmod +x process.sh -Makes the process.sh script executable by adding
execute permissions.
● ./process.sh -Executes the process.sh script from the current directory to
display CPU-intensive processes.
Disk Usage Script Syntax
● Script Purpose: Reports disk usage information in readable format
● The script begins with "#!/bin/bash", marking it as a Bash script
● Syntax: Uses 'df' command with '-h' option for human-readable output
● Command Structure: 'echo' provides message, 'df -h' displays formatted disk
usage data
● chmod +x usage.sh -Makes usage.sh executable
● ./usage.sh- Runs the usage.sh script to check disk space
Automated Backup System
● Creates a timestamped backup of home directory using tar
● Stores compressed backups in a dedicated backup folder
Backup Script
● Employs directory creation and tar archiving commands with specific options
● The script begins with "#!/bin/bash", designating it as a Bash script
● Script Purpose: Creates automated, dated backups of the home directory
● Command Structure: Defines backup location, creates directory with 'mkdir
-p', uses 'tar' for compression, confirms with 'echo'
● chmod +x backup.sh -Makes the backup script executable by adding
execution permissions.
● ./backup.sh - Runs the backup script to create a compressed archive of the
home directory.
Automated Backup Scheduling
● Sets up a cron job to run backup script automatically at 3 AM daily
Cron Job Script Syntax
● The script begins with "#!/bin/bash", establishing it as a Bash script
● Syntax: Utilizes crontab commands with schedule parameter "0 3 * * *"
● Script Purpose: Automates backup script scheduling through cron
● Command Structure: Defines cron timing, checks existing jobs with 'crontab
-l', adds new job with 'crontab', confirms with 'echo'
● chmod +x cron.sh - Makes the cron job script executable by adding
execution permissions.
● ./cron.sh -Executes the cron job script to schedule automated system
backups.
