write python script for UNIX command lines

Hey there I have an assignment next week benchmark using compiler and the professor wants us to write an script actually the command lines. I am new on python and writing scripts on UNIX. How do you write a script on Python? I need tutorials or any advice

Thanks

We have to write these steps

For each experiment, follow these steps:

For each benchmark directory, change to that directory and compile the code with one of the optimization levels. For example:
cd adpcm
gcc -O0 -o adpcm-O0 adpcm.c
Time the runtime of the executable:
time ./adpcm-O0
Record the "real" time displayed. You might take an average of 3-5 runs to get a stable result.
Use the performance measurement tools
On the Pis:
run rpistat on the executable
e.g. rpistat ./adpcm-O0
that generates a textfile rpistat.txt in the same directory. Record the Cycles and Instructions (use the value in [brackets] for the instruction count).
On the lab workstations:
run perf on the executable
e.g. perf stat ./adpcm-O0
that prints to stdout (you can redirect if you wish). Record the Cycles and Instructions.
Repeat this procedure for all 12 benchmarks and all 4 optimization levels on both machines.
For the fastest version of each benchmark (use lowest cycle count in the case of a tie), profile the application:
gcc -pg -O2 -o adpcm-prof adpcm.c
./adpcm-prof (This is needed to profile the executable, but you don’t need to record the runtime)
gprof ./adpcm-prof | less
Record the function for which the most execution time is spent.

How to Format

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
```
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
```
put returns between paragraphs
for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
_italic_ or **bold**
indent code by 4 spaces
backtick escapes `like _so_`
quote by placing > at start of line
to make links (use https whenever possible)

<https://example.com>

[example](https://example.com)

<a href="https://example.com">example</a>

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
