before the script ends.

#!/bin/bash

echo "Ahmed"

read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue..."

Example 2

You need to use ${varName} to avoid any kind of ambiguity

Write a script to prompt for your name and then create a file with your ‘<name>_file’ as file
name.

#!/bin/bash

echo "What is your name?" read

USER_NAME # Input from user

script then saves this information to a logfile.

#!/bin/bash

DATE_TIME = $(date)

echo $DATE_TIME

USERS = $(who) echo

$USERS

echo $DATE_TIME $USERS > log exit

Example 3
#!/bin/bash

# Display welcome message, computer name and date

echo "*** Backup Shell Script ***" echo

echo "*** Run time: $(date) @ $(hostname)" echo

# Define variables

BACKUP="/CIT01"

NOW=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y")

# Let us start backup

echo "*** Dumping MySQL Database to $BACKUP/$NOW..."

# Just sleep for 3 secs sleep

# And we are done...

echo

echo "*** Backup wrote to $BACKUP/$NOW/latest.tar.gz"
