Tutorial A

This is a SKILLS tutorial about shell scripting.

The tutorial will teach you all the shell programming techniques you need to complete the second assignment, all the way up to fully automating your experiments.

Make sure you are comfortable in the shell – revisit the Linux course from Module 0 Tutorial B if necessary.

Browse the forums on shell scripting including this useful all-in-one mini-tutorial.

Prepare for the tutorial session

Practice writing shell scripts that use the techniques from the all-in-one mini-tutorial. Use the forums to get help and solve your problems, and bring unresolved problems to the tutorial. On the forums, post your script as text, not a screenshot and, where applicable, the full error message you get.

Complete all theĀ milestones to date.
