 About your OS and version, release number, kernel version
                                                ( uname -a or  cat  /proc/version)
 Show all available shells ( cat /etc/shells )
 Show mouse settings (cat  /sys/class/input/mouse*/device/name )
 Show computer CPU information
      CPU details      ( cat /proc/cpuinfo | more )
      Show information on  CPU architecture ( lscpu)
      Number of Processor core ( nproc)
 Show memory information
      Memory details ( cat /proc/meminfo | more )
      Display file system disk usage ( df -h )
      Display the amount of free and used memory ( free)
      Virtual memory statistics ( vmstat)

 File system Mounted ( findmnt or cat /proc/mounts)
Note: There are some advanced command like lshw which will list complete hardware details.  These commands can be run as administrator user ( root) as sudo lshw ( needs root user password). Bring your own laptop if possible.

How to Write a Bash Shell Script Create a New File: You can create a new script using any text editor like nano , vim , or gedit . gedit myscript.sh Write the Script: A basic shell script begins with a "shebang" ( #!/bin/bash ) to specify the interpreter that will be used to execute the script. The rest of the file contains the commands to be run. Example of a simple script: #!/bin/bash # This is a comment echo "Hello, World!" # Print "Hello, World!" #!/bin/bash : Specifies that the script will be executed using the Bash shell. echo "Hello, World!" : A command that prints the string "Hello, World!" to the terminal. Comments: Any line starting ...

Different syntax for writing arithmetic expressions in bash shell

#!/bin/bash echo "Enter two numbers" read a b s=`expr $a + $b` echo "Sum1=$s" s=$[$a+$b] echo "sum2=$s" ((s=$a+$b)) echo "sum3=$s" ((s=a+b)) echo "sum3=$s" let s=$a+$b echo "sum4=$s" let s=a+b echo "sum4=$s" Note:bash shell support only integer arithmetic.zsh support operations on real numbers.We can use bc in bash shell to do real arithmetic. Eg: echo "$a*$b"|bc # where a and b are real Mathematical Operators With Integers Operator Description Example Evaluates To + Addition echo $(( 20 + 5 )) 25 - Subtraction echo $(( 20 - 5 )) 15 / Division echo $(( 20 / 5 )) 4 * Multiplication echo $(( 20 * 5 )) 100  % Modulus echo $(( 20 % 3 )) 2 ++ post-increment (add variable value by 1) x=5 echo $(( x++ )) echo $(( x++ )) 5 6 -- post-decrement (subtract variable value by 1) x=5 echo $(( x-- )) 4 ** Exponentiation x=2 y=3 echo $(( x ** y )) 8

Basic Linux Commands For Beginner's
