What Can Shell Script Do?
Hi Guys,
I am just wondering what tasks can we get carried out by the means of Shell Script? Is Shell Script a programming tool / language in itself? Can we use it for writing small and sophisticated programs? Or can it be used only for writing routines such as batch processing? Thanks for your guidance!  Dev.

You can write complex code with shell. It has limits especially in terms of performance and access to lower level system calls.
The general view is: 1. code in shell, and if you cannot meet requirements 2. code in (perl, python, ruby), if you cannot meet requirements 3. anything can be coded in C and is fast as it gets.
