Scripting refers to the practice of writing "scripts" to perform tasks on a machine. A shell script is a file that contains a set of command that well be executed as if they were typed in at the command line. Shell scripts make use of the wide range of command line tools that already exist for processing text and data. Scripts have been used by system administrators for years to automate repetitive task, but scripting has many applications in computational physics and high performance computing.
