If you're willing to research a little, Bash functions --> http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/abs-guide.html#FUNCTIONS

I strongly recommend downloading the pdf version of ABS and using it for searches. (Don't print it unless you are into killing trees.)

Functions are easy to use in bash. Just be sure that they come first in your script before they are called:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



hello_world() {

echo "Hello world!"

}



hello_world

exit 0
