UNIX(R) Shells by Example (4th Edition) Review by J. Kennedy
Best reference for shell scripting
Of all the computer books I own (I am a UNIX/Linux system administrator so I have a large library), this is the only book that I kept buying the newest edition when it came out (this is the 5th time I have bought the book). The 1st edition and this edition are the only books I have ever worn out. If you write shell scripts this book is a MUST HAVE for your library. The examples are plentiful and well explained. I am currently training a few junior system admins Linux in general and shell scripting. I have come close to ordering them to buy this book.
I admit, I only really use about 1/2 of the book for BASH, SED, and AWK but still, I can not recommend it enough.
