Does Shell Scripting in a Resume carry value?

Hi All,

I have learnt a lot by getting help from these forums. By the knowledge acquired, i have done the following automations which have helped prevent financial loss to my client.

Detecting when the listener goes down - Earlier, a downstream team used to inform us whenever they were not getting responses. Once I set up the script in cron, we have avoided such an embarrassing scenario and have taken steps to minimize the impact
Detecting when Queue depth is over a certain threshold - This has helped in preventing MQ Space being full and server MQ Crashing.
Failed Records detection - All the failure transactions are recorded in logs. I set up a script once daily to capture all these transactions in a text file and email to entire team. It also deduced the reason for these failures from logs and sorted the records by upstream type wise.

I know its a silly qs, but do these things carry weight as programming skills? I wanted to include the below items to my resume

Experienced with Shell Scripting and Linux Architecture
Setup Monitoring scripts which helped prevent financial loss for client
Created Scripts to log failed transactions and find their root cause.

How else can i modify the above points to better fit my resume?

scanlogs

SCANLOGS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       SCANLOGS(8)

NAME

       scanlogs - summarize INN log files.

SYNOPSIS

       scanlogs [ norotate ]

DESCRIPTION

       Scanlogs  summarizes  the information recorded in the INN log files (see newslog(5)).  By default, it also rotates and cleans out the logs.
       It is normally invoked by the news.daily(8) script.

KEYWORDS

       The following keywords are accepted:

       norotate
	      Using this keyword disables the rotating and cleaning aspect of the log processing: the logs files are only scanned for  information
	      and no contents are altered.

       If scanlogs is invoked more than once a day, the ``norotate'' keyword should be used to prevent premature log cleaning.
