Unix Basics:
Shell Programming http://mercury.chem.pitt.edu/~tiho/LinuxFocus/English/September2001/article216.shtml
Today's GnomeCLICK starts with
several good reasons for learning the mysteries of shell scripting: You can automate a lot of tasks
with it, the shell is very good for system administration tasks, you can very
quickly try out if your ideas work which makes it very useful for simple
prototyping and it is very useful for small utilities that perform some
relatively simple tasks where efficiency is less important than ease of
configuration, maintenance and portability. Unix Basics provides a strong look
at shell scripting, including a table of available shell commands, something
I've note seen on other sites. Scripting methods and conventions are laid out
in a logical fashion, making it easy to frequent and utilize Unix Basics in
your quest to create the perfect shell script. |
