.Em command language interpreter :
-it reads its input,
-breaks it down into parts,
-and then executes those parts.
-Its chief uses are in interfacing between the user and the operating system,
-reading commands on the command line,
-and in chaining together groups of commands in a very flexible manner,
-through a shell script.
+it reads one or more commands,
+either from the command line or from a file
+(a shell script),
+and then sets about executing those commands.
+Thus it is the
