Chapter 8: Shell Prompt Basics


Overview

The shell prompt (also known as the command line interface, or CLI) is a text-only interface to your Red Hat system. Just about any administration task (such as managing files, users, and groups) can be performed from the shell prompt.

Note

By default, Red Hat Linux uses the bash shell prompt, although you can change to another shell if you prefer by typing the name of the shell at the command prompt.

This chapter shows you the basics of how to interact with Red Hat Linux from a shell prompt.
