GoodReads Summary:
This cookbook is for beginners or intermediate Linux users who want to master
writing Bash shell scripts. Intermediate/advanced users, system
administrators, developers, and programmers can use it as a reference when
they face problems while coding. Each recipe contains step-by-step
instructions about everything necessary to execute a particular task. The book
is designed so that beginners can read it from start to end while advanced
users can just open it at any chapter and start following the recipes as a
reference. It covers most of the commands on Linux with a variety of use cases
accompanied by plenty of examples and guides you on implementing some of the
commonest Linux commands with recipes that handle operations or properties
related to files like searching and mining inside a file with grep. It also
shows how utilities like sed, awk, grep, and cut can be combined to solve text
processing problems. The focus is on saving time by automating activities with
a few lines of script.
