Termux on my Android laptop/tablet is pretty much identical to having a Debian shell environment. The only hackable hitch is that the binary paths are not standard. But there's a termux-fix-shebang script you can apply to your scripts to fix that.

Happy hacking!

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Presumably the list of linux commands in Termux on Android is a subset of the full list of Linux Bash shell  (i.e. Ubuntu or Redhat)

On MacOS one can go to /usr/sbin folder for the list of shell commands available.  Where can we get a list of available shell commands on Android OS? Is there a definitive guide for Linux programming on Android similar to that on Ubuntu?

You're welcome. ;-)

Seems no rooting required.

Cheers,

Where can we find Bash scripting guide specifically for Android devices? Ideally we will create Bash scripts that automatically execute when we turn on the Android device.

I suspect you will have to root the device to be able to setup scripts that will run when the device it turned on.

One option you can look at for running scripts is the app called BusyBox.
