Like most anything in Linux, it stems from UNIX. The Bourne shell was, I
believe the first shell, (window to the kernel) 30 years ago. This shell
was revised over the years, and it was spun off with enhanced functionality
into Bash, which stands for Bourne again shell. There are several shells
for use, i.e. Csh (sea shell), in which shell scripts are written in C,
Ksh- Korn shell, Ash, etc... Each has their own advantages and way of
script writing, etc..
