SH File Format
- Comments – Comments start with a # and are ignored by the shell.
- Shortcuts – You can rename a command to make it easier to execute quickly.
- Batch Jobs – You can automate the execution of multiple commands that would otherwise require human input. This eliminates the requirement to wait for a user to initiate each step of the process.
- Generalization – Using simple loops, much more generalization is achieved for operations such as conversion of images from one fromat to another.
.sh | File Format
A .sh file is a scripting language command file containing a computer program that can be run by the Unix shell. It can contain a series of commands that run sequentially to perform operations such as file processing, program execution, and other similar tasks. These are run from the command line interface by the user or in batch mode to perform multiple operations simultaneously. Script files can be opened in text editors such as Notepad, Notepad++, Vim, Apple Terminal, and other similar applications on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
