With its rich suite of command-line tools, Linux offers a strong platform for script development.  The BASH programming language can perform many of the features of higher-level languages, while maintaining a simple representation.  For more complicated projects, Python or Perl scripts can be utilize to perform tasks ranging from network communication, to image processing, to even artificial intelligence decision making.  Whatever the complexity of the task, Linux can often rise to the challenge.

Script development is especially useful in the execution of periodic application jobs.  Tasks that are too time or processor intensive to be run at peak operating hours can be scheduled to run at times of low-utilization.  With an advanced task scheduling system, logs can be maintained of job execution status, and notifications can be automatically sent on errors or failures.  In advanced instances, even periodic intervals of less than a minute can be achieved with a custom task scheduling engine.

Another key application of Linux scripting is in IT infrastructure.  Backups can often be automated through Linux scripts.  Even remote backups of hosted systems can be performed.  Through the rich set of free and open-source software, advanced operations such as automatic compression, two-way file synchronization, and VPN tunnel creation and tear-down can all be done with relative ease.  Linux brings the power of high-end computer technology and puts it in the hands of the everyday system administrator.
