    A Shell Programming Framework for Automated Risk Assessment and Security Control in Linux Operating Systems

    Abstract: Linux operating systems are widely used in servers, embedded platforms, cloud infrastructure, and high-performance computing environments, making continuous system monitoring and risk assessment essential for maintaining security and operational reliability. Conventional risk assessment approaches often rely on individual system commands and manual interpretation of processor, memory, process, file, and security information, which can limit timely identification of abnormal system conditions. This paper proposes a Bash shell programming-based automated risk assessment …

    Shell-Based Agents as Execution Systems: A Survey of Command Generation, Verification, Security, State, and Recovery

    Abstract: Shell environments are increasingly becoming interfaces through which AI agents interact with software and operating systems. Unlike conventional command generation systems, shell-based agents can interpret task objectives, plan multi-step actions, invoke terminal tools, observe system state, and adapt subsequent actions. These capabilities support software development, system administration, experimentation, and automated operations, but also introduce reliability and security challenges that cannot be assessed through command generation alone. This survey reviews 57 …

    Hand Gesture Recognition for Touchless Human–Computer Interaction

    Abstract: As technology continues to evolve, traditional input devices like the physical mouse can become restrictive, particularly for individuals with physical impairment or those working in hands-free environments. Alternative interfaces have been developed in response to the desire for more accessible and natural ways to interact. To provide a more adaptable and inclusive human–computer interaction experience, this study offers a gesture controlled virtual mouse system that integrates voice command with hand …

    Optimizing Multi-Cloud Infrastructure: Advanced Bash-Based Automation for Automated Security Patching and Health Monitoring in Hybrid Linux Environments

    Abstract: The proliferation of multi-cloud and hybrid Linux environments has introduced significant operational complexity, particularly in maintaining security compliance and system reliability across diverse infrastructure silos. Traditional patch management approaches, relying on manual interventions or disparate vendor-specific tools, suffer from latency, configuration drift, and limited visibility. This article presents a novel, lightweight automation framework constructed entirely in advanced Bash scripting to address automated security patching and real-time health monitoring across hybrid …

    Efficient Data Backup and Recovery Automation Using Shell Scripts in UNIX Systems

    Abstract: Data backup and recovery constitute essential components of system administration in UNIX-based environments, playing a critical role in maintaining data integrity, ensuring continuous availability, and providing resilience against various forms of data loss. In modern computing systems, data is a vital asset, and its loss—whether due to hardware failures, software corruption, human error, or cyber threats—can lead to significant operational disruptions and financial consequences. Therefore, implementing reliable and efficient backup …

    From Scripts to Systems: Advances and Architectures in Shell Programming

    Abstract: Shell programming has grown far beyond simple command-line scripting to become an essential layer for orchestrating complicated systems and automating modern development pipelines. This article covers recent developments that are changing the function of the shell, including more expressive scripting, better error handling and debugging, and tighter integration with containerization and cloud-native systems. It shows how modern shells and accompanying tools are empowering developers to design scalable, maintainable, and portable …
