BASH, acronym for "Bourne Again Shell", is the set of commands in the GNU/Linux system console. It includes all the commands of the UNIX operating system and the many programs that are part of it (sed, awk, bc, ....). The set of commands is immense. Using bash scripts we can connect to all system commands and our own programs. The code is elegant and very powerful. One of my favourite languages.
OrtosWMS ortos.sh reads a set of points points.txt that form the lower left corner (in UTM coordinates) and downloads the corresponding images from a WMS server.
Number to letters The script input is a natural number that is transformed into letters on screen and also played back using the "Festival" speech synthesizer. There are 4 scripts: one for Catalan, one for English, and one for Russian. A fourth script shows a loop to count from 0 to 100 in Russian. A Linux computer with the "festival" speech synthesis program installed is required.
