[ale] first time shell script

[Christopher Fowler]

Maybe you want to go to the MAC OS X list.  But, this
group is good for general UNIX questions.

$ chmod u+x <script name>
$ ./<script name>

It should run fine.

A sample script:

--- Cut Here ---
#!/bin/sh

echo "Hello, World!"
--- Cut Here ---

--- Cut Here ---
#!/usr/bin/python

print  "Hello, World!\n";
--- Cut Here ---


--- Cut Here ---
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
my $MSG = "Hello, World!\n";
print $MSG;
--- Cut Here ---

--- Cut Here ---
#!/usr/bin/tclsh

puts "Hello, World!";
--- Cut Here ---


Thos are just a few of the scripts one can do.  I'm sure others
have plenty more examples.
