Hi
As a Windows Administrator is PowerShell my thing.
To write script am I using "Windows PowerShell ISE" (see link).

In ISE is it possible to write and edit script, look them through and run line for line.
You also get autocompletion and some help with what command to use.

Question is: Are there any similar tool to for remote administration of Linux servers?

G'day @Martin Skorvald and welcome to linux.org :)

We have a small number of people I refer to as scripting gurus here, and I expect one or more of them will be along to provide some input as soon as they are able. Timezones can influence responses as we are global. And all volunteers. :D

Good luck with your question, and if you get a chance, swing over to https://www.linux.org/forums/member-introductions.141/ , say Hi and meet a few of the gang, and tell us a bit of the Martin Skorvald story with Linux.

Cheers

Why don't you use a Text Editor like Atom?
 
There are also shells wich have netter Auto complete like zsh and fish

There's bashdb, but I've never even bothered to try it. I don't see the point. I edit scripts in emacs, the editor my fingers know best. And I always have a couple bash shells open, so it's easy to test snippets. And I also have a selection of machines I can scp it to to test.
 
Thanks.
I will look in to each and every one of them you have suggested more thoroughly.
As a first look is it not what I'm looking for.

The closest thing I've used is bashdb, but it's ugly and slow. You can also use the Eclipse IDE with a bash plugin:


Maybe VS Studio has a plugin like that, but I haven't tried it personally. I will do this shortly and if my brain doesn't turn to mush trying, I'll come back and reply to my reply. I hope this helps.

Alright! I have installed bashdb and Visual Studio's bash debugger plugin. The plugin claims it has its own bashdb, so maybe the first step wasn't needed, but I can't confirm.

It works great! I'm able to add breakpoints, watch variables and more!

Disclaimer: I'm running Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish under Windows Subsystem for Linux and Visual Studio Code for Windows. YMMV.
 
PyCharm is a fully integrated development environment. (IDE) It support remote development.
