Semantics-driven static analysis could be used to improve the safety, correctness, and performance of Unix, Linux, and macOS shell scripts, researchers say.

Shell scripting may finally get a proper bug-checker. A group of academics has proposed static analysis techniques aimed at improving the correctness and reliability of Unix shell programs. The team ...

Abstract: Shell programming is widely used to accomplish various tasks in Unix and Linux platforms. However, the large number of shell commands available, e.g., 50,000+ commands are documented in the ...

Why learn a programming language? Computers are powerful tools. Computers can perform all manner of tasks: communication, computation, managing and manipulating data, modeling natural phenomena, and ...

The Python interpreter provides you with an environment for experimentation and observation—the Python shell, where we work in interactive mode. It’s a great way to get your feet wet. Figure 1: The ...

Shell programming, which is a tool for programming sequences of programs, has been around since the dawn of time. It's one of the features that has given UNIX and then Linux such power.
