This book is geared towards any Unix user who doesn't want to spend time creating or testing shell scripts. Instead,
Shell Scripting Recipes
dissects and explains over 150 much-needed and practical real-world examples, and then shows the reader how and when to appropriately use them.
Because most scripts found in this book are POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface)-compliant, they are supported by many of the major shell variants, including Bash, ksh and sh, among others. File conversion, system administration, and resource monitoring are just a few of the topics covered in this highly practical shell scripting reference.
