    Shell scripts are the equivalent of DOS "batch" programs, written
    as a file containing a series of command lines. They are usually
    given a '.bat' extension in DOS.

    Unix shell scripts can have any file name, but it is quite common'
    to use '.sh' as the extentsion. There are several different command
    interpreters, known as "shells". The basic one supplied with most
    Unixes is the original 'sh', but there are later versions with
    many more options.

    Shell scripts must be marked as executable before they can be
    run - use the command "chmod +x yourscript.sh".

    Read up on the 'bash' shell for much more detail. It is FAR
    more powerful than the DOS command line.
