Shell Scripting - Username/Password

The document discusses several shell scripting examples involving username/password input, fork(), exec(), file descriptors, signals, and process execution. Key points include: 1. A shell script that prompts for username and password input without displaying the password. 2. Examples of fork() to create child processes and demonstrate process IDs. 3. Using exec() to launch a new program from within a child process after forking. 4. Examples manipulating file descriptors and using them for inter-process communication. 5. Examples handling SIGCHLD signals from child processes. 6. Demonstrating how a child process exits immediately using _exit() while the parent continues.

Tell the OS that it is bash interpreter # prompt it on the console; -n means no new line # reads the input from the console and assign it to username

# reads the input; -n 1 means read only one character at a time; -s means silent, it means don't display what is read
