the author does a good job to demonstrate the basic on how to write shell scripts. The book contains useful tips and examples (real life problems you may face in your daily job), but keep on mind you'll need more advanced material to master UNIX shell scripts. ...
GREAT tutorials that will have you scripting in no time!
I've spent the last month learning the basic commands of Unix. Where the real challenge of System Administration comes in is writing scripts. Never has there been a book so useful! Better than O'Reilly shell books..
Best shell scripting guide since Kochan
Glad to see the other good reviews. I was impressed and wanted to see what others had to say.
This is the way it should be done. Definitely appreciated the emphasis on the bash shell and the inclusion of other useful tools. Pleasantly surprised by the depth and quality of the examples...this is one of the best book in SAMS catalog. Author also had a chapter or two in Kao's Special Edition Using Unix, which was a solid book even though it is a major doorstop in size. Looking forward to more titles from Veeraraghavan.
It looks like the quality of non-O'Reilly titles may be improving after all...
