Linux Scripts
Special-purpose language scripts
- Can also use scripting languages (PERL, Tcl/Tk, Python, etc…) if the interpreter is installed
- Usually doesn’t need to be compiled, but depends on the language chosen
- Interpreted by the language interpreter
- Usually requires stronger / detailed programming skills and understanding than shell scripting
- All scripts begin with #! (hash-bang) in column 1 of the first line, followed with the absolute path to the interpreter, plus options if needed
