Shell scripting is an effective tool for boosting productivity and reducging errors in HPC workflows  Shell scripts can be used to streamline pre- and post-processing tasks, automating repetitive tasks, backups and system monitoring. In this session, we assume that participants have experience with basic Linux operations on command-line tools. Topics include intro to shells, shell scripting syntax, constructs and operators, and tips for effective Bash shell scripting.
