Description: Have you ever wanted to move beyond just typing commands and start telling your computer exactly what to do, automatically? This course is your hands-on journey to mastering shell scripting, transforming you from a command-line user into a powerful automator. We will build your skills from the ground up, starting with the absolute basics of variables and logic and progressing to building sophisticated, real-world projects that solve genuine IT challenges. This is not a dry, theoretical course; you will be writing practical scripts from the very first sections.You will learn to think like a scriptwriter, breaking down complex problems into a sequence of commands. We dive deep into the tools that power all serious scripting: grep, awk, and sed, paired with the incredible precision of Regular Expressions (Regex) to slice, dice, and transform any text data you encounter. Instead of just learning what a for loop is, you'll use one to read a system log file line-by-line to find security threats. Instead of just defining a function, you'll use one with the trap command to ensure your script shuts down gracefully and securely, even when interrupted.Through hands-on projects, you will:Build a complete system memory monitor that runs continuously, logs usage to a report, and sounds an alarm when it crosses a critical threshold.Write a log analysis tool that hunts for failed login attempts and other security events in system logs.Construct a simple, multi-machine ETL pipeline using netcat to filter and even mask sensitive data as it flows across a network.By the end of this course, you won’t just "know" shell scripting; you will have the practical skills and the problem-solving mindset to automate your workflow, build your own tools, and tackle complex system administration tasks with confidence.
