Résumé

With more and more systems being run under UNIX and Linux, the ability to
program and customize the shell quickly and reliably to get the best out of any
individual system is becoming a more and more important skill for anyone
operating and maintaining these systems.

This comprehensive book is a practical, easy-to-use guide to programming and
using the Bourne shell for beginners and experienced users - the Bourne shell is
the standard shell for UNIX, and is also fully backward compatible to the Linux
BASH shell. This book will fully illustrate the ability of the shell to unlock
the real potential of UNIX and Linux, and aims to get the reader up, running and
creating robust shell scripts for real tasks and situations as quickly as
possible - shell scripts that will work on any mainstream UNIX or Linux machine.

If you are new to UNIX and Linux or if you are a power user in waiting then
this book is for you. Most shell programming books merely annotate manual pages
and syntax , but in this book users of all abilities will find plenty of
practical working examples - all of which are available as full code script via
an ftp site - as well as a host of tips, tricks and code one-liners, that will
save you time on a day-to-day basis. The book is organized into self-contained
chapters on individual topics for ease of reference.

Practical advice and guidance for beginners and advanced programmers alike
Easy access to specific topics through self-contained chapters for day-to-day reference
Every chapter backed up with real, practical examples
Full of tested time-saving code one-liriers
All programming examples and code available in electronic form.
