this tutorial, we will focus on bash as it is one of the most popular shells. This tutorial will include topics such as creating simple bash scripts, flow control, command line arguments, regex, grep, awk and sed. This is a practical tutorial, so we will provide
examples and/or hands-on exercises for most of the covered materials. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
