UNIX applications and development environments commonly use shell scripts, Perl scripts, and scripts written in other languages. If the scripting language used on the source platform is also supported in Oracle Linux, migrating the scripts is a straightforward exercise. When migrating legacy scripts, the availability of the command and any command-line options on both the source and target platforms is critical in determining the migration effort.
