Research some different types of Linux tasks that will require scheduling at a future date and repeated. Using the concepts in this unit for scheduling, explain how you will schedule one of these tasks in the future and have it repeated to ease administration.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a linux discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

• Look at the BASH script below and the details of each line. This is a simple script with a short explanation of what each line is. As you can see, the BASH shell language is straightforward and simple to understand.
• After performing research on the BASH shell, please discuss how BASH shell scripting can help you as a Linux Administrator.
• In addition, find or write a simple BASH shell script that has a decision and loop structure, and explain what it is and what it does. If you create a script of your own, run it on your Linux system and provide a sample of the output.
  • • #! /bin/bash
    • # script to turn the screen blue
    • setterm -background blue
    • echo It is a blue day

Sample Explanation

• • Line 1: specifies which shell should be used to interpret the commands in the script.
  • Line 2: is a comment (has no effect when the script is executed).
  • Line 3: sets the background color.
  • Line 4: displays a message.

• Research some different types of Linux tasks that will require scheduling at a future date and repeated. Using the concepts in this unit for scheduling, explain how you will schedule one of these tasks in the future and have it repeated to ease administration.
• In your details be sure to state the task, explain what the goal is, why the task must be scheduled, and the commands you will use.
• Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format
