The Linux Shell Handbook
Linux Magazine Special #15 (4th Edition)
Discover the Language of the Linux Experts
Think like the experts: The powerful Bash shell provides a comprehensive
collection of utilities for configuring and troubleshooting Linux systems.
Before the icons, menus, and wobbly windows of the modern Linux user environment,
users managed and interacted with their systems from the command line. Many
advanced users still prefer to work from the keyboard, and many will tell you
that exploring the command-line environment is the best way to build a deeper
understanding of Linux.
The Linux Shell Handbook is a thorough primer on the Bourne Again Shell (Bash)
environment found on most Linux systems. You'll learn to navigate, manipulate
text, work with regular expressions, and customize your Bash settings. We'll
show you shell utilities for configuring hardware, setting up users and groups,
managing processes, and installing software - and we'll even help you get
started creating your own Bash scripts to automate recurring tasks. Keep the
Linux Shell Handbook beside your computer as a permanent desktop reference
on the world of the terminal window.
