The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:
Show some simple subroutines.
Show more advanced routines.
Mention return codes again and how they work in scripts.

First, let's start with a selection of simple but powerful scripts. These are mainly shown to give the reader an idea of just what can be done quickly with a script.
