As much as I hate to say it, I doubt there's one book on all those
topics you'd be able to make sense of. If there is, I certainly
haven't seen/heard of it.
If you want a REALLY good book on SysAdmin go look up the
"Red Book" or the System Administration Guide. One of the
authors is Trent Hein with a nice bright red cover.
Per shell scripting, you'll want a book on the shell. The syntax
between them is next to impossible cover in very good detail.
The Unleashed books are very good, but there's alot of information
to sort through. One benefit I liked is you can get a .pdf copy
and put it on your computer and read what/when you wish. I have
a copy of my Linux Unleashed on my laptop.
