From the Publisher:

Getting to grips with Linux
This book is about shell programming or to be more precise shell and Bourne shell programming.

With LINUX now firmly taking its rightful place in the market as a viable and robust operating system, shell programming has become even more popular. No-one can say with any confidence how many LINUX users there are out there because LINUX is free, though there is a growing number of third parties selling their own LINUX variants.

If you want to learn shell programming, then this is the book for you; even if you are an intermediate shell user you will find the book a good learning and reference tool as there are some handy administrative tips and one-liners for you.

This book has been written from the outset with six main objectives in mind. These are: · Getting the reader up to speed quickly learning about shell tools and shell programming. · Using the book not only as a learning tool but also as a reference book. · Using shell scripts to use your system more productively.

· Showing scripts that are clear and easily understandable. · Making the chapters self-contained where possible for the subject covered, for ease of use. · Showing the reader not just shell scripting but also some administrative tasks like rc.scripts and cgi scripts.
