System Upgrade – Bash Script
Branching off of the Learning the Shell series of posts, I have started to explore the Writing Shell Scripts chapter of William Shotts’ The Linux Command Line.

The prioritized list has been updated to include Linux and AWS certifications strategically placed based on how the curriculum is organized. This is an aggressive plan that assumes 4 to 6 hours a day of focused study, 5 days a week. The intent of the…
