How to create and run PowerShell script file on Windows 10.
Hi! This article is the second part of the Howtoforge shell scripting tutorial series. By this time, I assume that you have read the first part of the series and know how to create a simple script and execute it. In the second part, you will learn how accept inputs from the user and process them through shell scripting.
A shell is a special user program which provides an interface to the user to use operating system services. Shell accept human readable commands from the user and convert them into something which kernel can understand. It is a command language interpreter that execute commands read from input devices such as keyboards or from files.

And then we tell bash to execute the commands that are in that text file. which we refer to as a script.
PowerShell is a shell, even when it's a scripting language. You can enter the name of an executable and it will run. Most interactive command line clients have a non-interactive mode intended for scripting. Here is a basic tutorial for running executables. In a script, you might need more control over how things run.
