  Login and Logout Scripts Some scripts execute based on the user. For example, a login script runs when a user logs in. The script customizes the user’s environment, maps network drives, and automatically launches a particular application. Logout scripts execute when the user signs off. These scripts might delete temp files or copy the user’s data to a network server. The Official CompTIA Server+ Study Guide (Exam SK0-005) page 160. SHELL LANGUAGES Scripts are written using a shell language. The shell is the server’s command-line environment. The default shell for Linux is bash. Windows has two shells: cmd.exe and PowerShell, although Microsoft emphasizes PowerShell. As a general rule, a script written for one shell, such as PowerShell, will not be understood by another shell, such as bash. The system must have the appropriate shell installed to process the script.
