I was wondering, is it possible to create a lets say .sh file that can use commands like in shell? Each time we setup a server we setup a bunch of things, if we could make a script that can install everything and download and stuff it would be great.

If it's possible please point me in the right direction.

put all of your commands in a file and type

sh filename

or you could add

#!/bin/sh

at the top of that same file and

chmod +x filename

which would let you just type

./filename

If you need help setting up your BASH file id be willing to help you to an extent =). Message me on aim if you need help AIM: IAEtheral

Francisco, we have setup scripts for all the servers we install (from using a Redhat/ Fedora 'kickstart' file, to the installation and configuration of openssl, apache, php, ssh, mm, sendmail, bind etc..

Drop me a PM or i'm on MSN: msn@stevewrightonline.co.uk if you want to talk shell :)

YEah. .sh files are interpreted using the shell. Code in .sh files works exactly the same way as code typed interactively at the shell. That's why they are called "shell scripts".
