Loops

if…else…fi

If given condition is true then command1 is executed otherwise command2 is executed.
Syntax:

           if condition
           then
                       condition is zero (true - 0)
                       execute all commands up to else statement

           else
                       if condition is not true then
                       execute all commands up to fi
           fi

example of nested if else
osch=0
echo "1. Unix (Sun Os)"
echo "2. Linux (Red Hat)"
echo -n "Select your os choice [1 or 2]? "
read osch

if [ $osch -eq 1 ] ; then

     echo "You Pick up Unix (Sun Os)"

else #### nested if i.e. if within if ######
            
       if [ $osch -eq 2 ] ; then
             echo "You Pick up Linux (Red Hat)"
       else
             echo "What you don't like Unix/Linux OS."

Command line arguements

eg:

$ myshell foo bar

 Shell Script name i.e. myshell
 First command line argument passed to myshell i.e. foo
 Second command line argument passed to myshell i.e. bar

In shell if we wish to refer this command line argument we refer above as follows

 myshell it is $0
 foo it is $1
 bar it is $2

Here $# (built in shell variable ) will be 2 (Since foo and bar only two Arguments), Please note at a time such 9 arguments can be used from $1..$9, You can also refer all of them by using $* (which expand to `$1,$2…$9`). Note that $1..$9 i.e command line arguments to shell script is know as “positional parameters“.

Exit status

By default in Linux if particular command/shell script is executed, it return two type of values which is used to see whether command or shell script executed is successful or not.

(1) If return value is zero (0), command is successful.
(2) If return value is nonzero, command is not successful or some sort of error executing command/shell script.

This value is know as Exit Status.

exit status can be found out by issuing $ echo $?

if the output is 0, the previously executed command is successful if it’s a non zero value means the last command run is unsuccessful.

Shell Arithmetic

used to perform arithmetic operations in shell scripts.

Synatax: $ expr  op1 operator  op2

eg:

$ expr 1 + 3
$ expr 2 – 1
$ expr 10 / 2
$ expr 20 % 3
$ expr 10 * 3
$ echo `expr 6 + 3`

in the last one we used back quote (` the one below the tilde symbol in standard keyboards).

if we use the back quote the last eg’s output may differ.
