In August 1998, the local Linux Users’ Group had a meeting for its members, where three presentations were given about topics related to Linux. This page links to materials from my presentation about scripting.

You can download three files containing material for my presentation:
- The PDF file of the slides;
- The LaTeX source for the slides;
- The gzipped tar file containing the example scripts I prepared.
Not all the examples described in the slides were written. The GUI example was not written for sh, because there is no GUI library available on Linux. With CDE installed, there might be dtksh, but I’ve never used CDE. The scripts to check a web page were not written due to lack of time.
