Who Should Read This Book

If you're a system administrator in a Linux environment, you'll benefit greatly by knowing how to write shell scripts. The book doesn't walk you through the process of setting up a Linux system, but after you have it running, you'll want to start automating some of the routine administrative tasks. That's where shell scripting comes in, and that's where this book helps you out. This book demonstrates how to automate any administrative task using shell scripts, from monitoring system statistics and data files to generating reports for your boss.

If you're a home Linux enthusiast, you'll also benefit from Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible. Nowadays, it's easy to get lost in the graphical world of pre-built widgets. Most desktop Linux distributions try their best to hide the Linux system from the typical user. However, sometimes you must know what's going on under the hood. This book shows you how to access the Linux command line prompt and what to do when you get there. Often, performing simple tasks, such as file management, can be done more quickly from the command line than from a fancy graphical interface. You can use a wealth of commands from the command line, and this book shows you how to use them.
