shell script

A file of executable Unix commands that is created in a text editor. When the file is run, each command is executed until the end of the file is reached. Shell scripts are the Unix counterpart to DOS batch files and scripts supported by the Windows Scripting Host. Once the shell script is written, it is made usable by changing its file status to "executable" with the Unix chmode (change mode) command. See Windows Script Host and DOS batch file.

(programming, operating system)shell script - A program written to be interpreted by the shell of an operating system, especially Unix.

Compare: script, glue language.
