Creating Linux Shell script?

Question

Hi,
I want to create a shell script for Linux to make 3-4 commands run at same time, can you please post me how i can do that, i have practiced creating batch files in ms dos and that works fine but no idea how i will do in Linux.

Answer 1

Create the script as a text file then run

chmod 777 filename

In linux, the execute bit for the given user/group must be set - chmod 777 sets the file to rwx for the user, group, and everyone.

Answer 2

Its easier in Linux, write the commands as you would in DOS, put them in a regular text file. Execute by chmod 777 then simply write the name of the text file.

I'm happy to see that more people are discovering Linux!
Beats Windows, hands down!
