Week 10 Posting - Automation

 Within my experience in IT, many repetitive tasks can be done by a well-designed automation system. When I was attending Southeast Tech in Sioux Falls, SD I had the opportunity to learn Linux scripting and the use of making .sh files. Often when creating automation files or formulas the information that is pulled must be accurate, if it is not the rest of the information will be incorrect. When creating a script the first thing is to determine the end goal, then take a step back and look at the overall impact, if a script will be designed to check a system for an item it may be a good idea to estimate how much time doing the items manually would take then compare to the same thing if you had a working script. With my experience, I want to automate something that might be better done manually to prevent errors.
