Some of us have written a script before...some of us haven't. This means there is a great opportunity for us to share what we know and discuss some of our shell script programming tips with each other. For this discussion, compile a list of at least 10 shell script programming tips. You may need to perform some research from credible online sources.

 In your discussion post:

• List 10 tips for shell script programming. If you researched tips and are using information from another source, make sure to include the APA citation and link for your source(s) used.
