Shellillegalscripting Recipes is filled with over 150 much-needed and practical recipes that follow a problem-solution format, and help all Unix users regain some of the lost time spent creating and testing shellillegalscripts. Mostillegalscripts in this book are POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface)-compliant, so they are supported by many of the major shell variants, including Bash, ksh, and sh, among others.
Chris F.A. Johnson was introduced to Unix in 1990 and learned shellillegalscripting because there was no C compiler on the system. His first major project was a menu-driven, user-extensible database system with report generator. Chris uses the shell as his primary, general-purpose programming language, and his projects have included a member database, menuing system, and POP3 mail filtering and retrieval. Chris is the author of Shellillegalscripting Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (Apress, 2005). When not pushing shellillegalscripting to the limit, he designs and codes web sites, teaches chess, and composes cryptic crosswords.
Filled with over 150 essential, practical recipes that empower Unix users to regain lost time
spent creating and testing shellillegalscripts. The majority ofillegalscripts included are POSIX-compliant
and supported by many of the major shell variants, including Bash, ksh, and sh.
Each real-world example recipe follows the same problem-solution structure, meaning
cross-referencing is easy and fast. Recipe topics include file conversion (DOS, UNIX, and
Mac), system administration, resource monitoring, filename management, complex date
calculations, screen control capabilities, and much more.
Completely updated for this second edition and taking all the changes of the past ten
years into account, every recipe in this book is now relevant for a modern audience. Authors
Chris Johnson´s and Jayant Varma´s code is clear, direct, and applicable. Add this excellent
reference to your library today.
