Scripts can be used to automate tasks, perform actions and make changes to multiple computers at once. Landscape lets you run scripts on the computers you manage in your account. The scripts may be in any language, as long as an interpreter for that language is present on the computers on which they are to run. You can maintain a library of scripts for common tasks. You can manage scripts from the Scripts tab in your organisation’s home page, and run them against computers from the Scripts menu in the Computers page.
Hi! Can knowing how to code and do programming make learning and understanding how to script easier?
Hi @slumberingserval18! Yes, knowing how to code will make learning, understanding, and writing scripts better. Scripts (in general) are essentially just small programs, and you can make small scripts even with basic/beginner programming knowledge.
If you want to learn more about scripting and Ubuntu, I have a couple pieces of documentation to suggest:
- Ubuntu Bash Scripting guide for beginners: This guide provides an overview of many basic commands you can use in the Terminal
- Ubuntu Tutorial: Managing your software: This tutorial is for those new to Ubuntu. It provides introductory explanations and walks you through how to do some basic tasks
This explanation of Scripts you responded to is referring to the specific Scripting feature in Landscape, though. So this description describes how scripts work in relation to Landscape only. 
Okay, awesome! Thank you so much for your help and for the guides! And okay, I understand. I think that I’ll do some more researching on Landscape, too, then. Thank you so much again!
