This is a great book for beginners and a an awesome reference book for more knowledgable. This book is also a great primer for those who wish to embark upon learning to program

Summary: Decent UNIX Book
Review: This book is good if you are a casual user of a UNIX system, it will help you write scripts to automate your routine tasks. The book does not cover every option of every command in every shell, which can be frustrating at times - especially if you are trying to figure out someone else's script. If you need to do hardcore shell programming then this is not the book for you, but if you find yourself typing the same commands over and over, then this book will definitely help.

Summary: No depth, good only for beginners
Review: This book is good only for beginners. If you have scripting skills in another OS and want to learn UNIX shell programming to do real life scripting, this book will only give you cursory knowledge. It does not cover any useful scripting techniques. Overall, I would say you will need another book alongwith this to do what you want to do.

Summary: GOOD BUT NEED SOME CORRECTION
Review: This is a great book. But the author need rewrite at least one part and correct one error.(As far as I know). If you are lucky to see my note, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR--make corrections below.1) page 85 Table4-4 change the 11th line from bottom into: tr '[A-Z]' '[N-ZA-M]' 2)read page 240-245 carefully, misleading there. Here the author talking about "Exported Variables". The author's concept is wrong in this topic. Actually, when you test codes from page 243 and 244, it makes no difference for two "vartest4". I'd like you correct the 4th line from bottom at page 243 into " y = 5 " instead of " y = 10 " Any way, this is a very good book for beginner. If you can find error, you get progress. Good Luck!
