A '''shell script''' is a computer program designed to be run by the Unix shell, a command line interpreter.

== Description ==

The various dialects of shell scripts are considered to be scripting languages.

Typical operations performed by shell scripts include file manipulation, program execution, and printing text. A script which sets up the environment, runs the programme, and does any necessary cleanup, logging, &c is called a wrapper.

== Non-Unix scripting ==

This article is about scripting in UNIX-like systems.

The term is also used more generally to mean the automated mode of running an operating system shell.

* For batch programming in DOS, OS/2 and Windows, see [[Batch file]].
* For batch programming in [[Windows PowerShell]] shell, see Windows PowerShell#Scripting.
* For programming in the shells (Cmd.exe) in operating systems of the Windows NT/2000 series, see cmd.exe.
* For shell programming, by means of files called Command Scripts or Procedures on Vax/VMS machines, see DIGITAL Command Language.
