How does Unix/shell scripting work? -
i curious logic of unix environment. i'm under impression unix operating system, shell. subset there more specific shells such bourne, bash, , korn shells. , these shells interpreters , have own functions interpret scripts, , have functions such ping, pwd, etc? there shells within shells? said correct?
the unix operating system not shell.
a shell program makes easy interact computer running programs , manipulating data streams.
the 'functions' mentioned programs, , not part of shell.
you can run shell shell if want. example, in bash session , want switch csh something. run csh
, when you're finished, exit
return bash shell.
if like, can run copy of bash inside bash session. might if want modify environment variables , undo changes when return.
in these cases, did run program shell , waited terminate. if program happened shell, it's nothing special.
