Shell Scripting for Linux Server Administration

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1654 / 3 Years ago, mon, july 5, 2021, 9:32:22

I recently started learning Linux(Ubuntu), and i'm aware that Linux has it's own form of language i.e Shell Scripting. What i'll like to know is that is this language enough to administer a Linux Server? I can also code in PHP/MySQL and i'll also like to do some standalone app for Linux based PC (not with PHP/MySQL), will Shell Scripting be enough for me to achieve these.?

Thank you for your time, patience and answer. I most appreciate it.

Yes and No. Shell scripting will help you administrate a server and automate tasks.

You will not be able to build Applications with shell scripting. Something like python would be better for building software apps in Linux. Or possibly C++ and Qt framework. Shell scripting is used to automate services and tasks at low level on server. Not build apps.
