Left arrow icon Right arrow icon

Key benefits

  • Become an expert in creating powerful shell scripts and explore the full possibilities of the shell
  • Automate any administrative task you could imagine, with shell scripts
  • Packed with easy-to-follow recipes on new features on Linux, particularly, Debian-based, to help you accomplish even the most complex tasks with ease

Description

The shell is the most powerful tool your computer provides. Despite having it at their fingertips, many users are unaware of how much the shell can accomplish. Using the shell, you can generate databases and web pages from sets of files, automate monotonous admin tasks such as system backups, monitor your system's health and activity, identify network bottlenecks and system resource hogs, and more. This book will show you how to do all this and much more. This book, now in its third edition, describes the exciting new features in the newest Linux distributions to help you accomplish more than you imagine. It shows how to use simple commands to automate complex tasks, automate web interactions, download videos, set up containers and cloud servers, and even get free SSL certificates. Starting with the basics of the shell, you will learn simple commands and how to apply them to real-world issues. From there, you'll learn text processing, web interactions, network and system monitoring, and system tuning. Software engineers will learn how to examine system applications, how to use modern software management tools such as git and fossil for their own work, and how to submit patches to open-source projects. Finally, you'll learn how to set up Linux Containers and Virtual machines and even run your own Cloud server with a free SSL Certificate from letsencrypt.org.

Who is this book for?

If you are a beginner or an intermediate Linux user who wants to master the skill of quickly writing scripts and automate tasks without reading the entire man pages, then this book is for you.

Very lengthy illustration of the command options some of which are quite useful and some are quite obscure and we can do without. The book is overall weak in with respect to scripting -- have commands work together.

I would expect a book about Linux Shell Scripting to be be about actually scripting. This book shows you how to write glorified commands but is anemic with regards to actual scripting. If your goal is to write better commands and even how to structure them, this is your book but with hardcore scripting techniques, I can't reasonably encourage you to purchase this one.
