Are Scripting Questions Included in the RHCSA 9 Exam?

[u/Spirited_Ad4661]

I'm preparing for the RHCSA 9 exam and was wondering if scripting questions are part of the exam. If there are, for those who've recently taken the exam, any insights on how much scripting knowledge is required would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

Yes, as knowing how to create scripts and programs is essential for becoming a System Administrator. It is an essential hard skill that must be known to become and meet market demands for the minimum requirements for a production job.

Scripting basics should cover it, good luck with your prep though!

Know that the #!/bin/shn at the beginning of a script supplies the exact path to the script's runtime. In this case, the runtime is whatever POSIX-compliant shell is at /bin/sh.

Examples of others:

#!/usr/local/bin/tcl
#!/bin/env python3
#!/bin/false
