Automate CartForge Server Tasks Using Bash Scripts

Business Scenario

After monitoring is set up, everything initially looks stable.
But after a few days, the manager notices recurring issues again.

Disk space keeps filling up
Logs are growing continuously
Temporary files are not getting cleared
System performance drops over time

The manager calls the Junior DevOps Engineer and explains:

“We now have visibility into the system, but problems keep coming back.”

He continues:

“Logs keep increasing, unnecessary files are piling up, and we are fixing everything manually again and again.”

“This approach is not scalable. If traffic increases, these issues will grow faster.”

“We need a permanent solution.

The manager clearly defines the next step:

“We need automation using Bash scripts.”

“Routine server tasks should run automatically without manual intervention.”

He adds:

“If we automate these tasks, the system will maintain itself and stay stable.”

The Junior DevOps Engineer gathers the team and explains:

“Instead of fixing issues after they happen, we will prevent them using automation.”

“We’ll write Bash scripts to handle repetitive server tasks efficiently.”

Pre-Lab Preparation

1) What is Bash Script 2) Why Bash Script

3) Variables Loops 4) Error Handling Commands like echo and read Functions

Task 1: Automate CartForge Server Tasks Using Bash Scripts

Create Your First Script

Using Variables in Real Script

nano var.sh
#!/bin/bash

APP_NAME="cartforge"
APP_DIR="/home/ubuntu/$APP_NAME"

echo "Going to $APP_DIR"

Commands in DIR

Output :

Script: Start Application

nano  automate.sh

Output :

Script: System Health Check

Output :

Task 2: Build Dynamic Workflows with Bash (Inputs, Loops, Conditions)

After implementing basic automation with Bash scripts, the CartForge servers become stable.

But after some time, the manager notices a limitation.

The scripts are running…
…but they are too static.

Same actions run every time
No decision-making
No flexibility based on system state

The manager realized the automation lacked intelligence and suggested smarter, condition-based workflows instead of repetitive tasks

Task 1: Understanding BRD

Before you start building anything, you need to clearly understand what the client actually wants.So, let’s begin by understanding the BRD (Business Requirement Document) shared by the client.

BRD Full Form is Business Requirement Details.BRD like a plan for building a house. This plan helps the builder understand what to build.In the same way,BRD tells developers what the client wants to build

Click to download BRD : BiteBox_BRD.pdf

Activity

After going through BRD list down the Core Features and Web Pages in the tabulated Format as shown Below.

Col 1	Col 2	Col 3
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3

Formula

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Task 2: Create WireFrame

Now that you understand the requirements, don’t jump into coding yet. Before development, we always visualize the layout.

Now lets create a simple wireframe for the homepage.

A wireframe is like a layout plan of a house. Before building, you decide where rooms, doors, and windows will be placed.Similarly, a wireframe helps you plan where elements like headers, images, and buttons will appear on a webpage—before adding design or colours.

Task 3: Code Editor Installation

Good work on completing the planning phase.

Now we will start development. Before that, make sure your system is ready with the required tools.

In this step we will install the VS code editor that will help to Write code efficiently,Organize files , Run and test your application

Go to the visual studio code official website

        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}

public class MathSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 10;
        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}

public class MathSample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 10;
        int y = 20;
        int sum = x + y;
        
        System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum);
    }
}
