Bash scripting

Start doing a bit bash scripting now....

this is some thing that fairly simple but took me a few minutes to figure out how...


  • You can't use alias by default unless you turn on some kind of options
  • to run a variable as a command, there are three commands that you can use
    • eval, exec, source 
  • Variable should be upper case!
