What is the difference between Shell Programming and Shell
scripting?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
The term "Shell programming" is not true. "Shell scripting"
is the term which is a collection of command to do a
specific task. The "shell" act as a "Interpreter". When we
execute a shell script, a temporary shell is created and the
interpreter interprete and execute one line at a time. if
any error in the line then it exit from that line. No next
line will be read.
Getting error and jump to next line is happen in case of
"Compiler".

shell script is only using the multiple commands in one
sctipt. But shell programing is we are using commands and
logic in one script. Otherwise there is no any difference
