Fun and functional Linux, Mac OS X and UNIX shell scripts

The UNIX shell is the main scripting environment of every Linux, Mac OS X and UNIX system, whether a rescued laptop or a million-dollar mainframe. This cookbook of useful, customizable, and fun scripts gives you the tools to solve common Linux, Mac OS X and UNIX problems and personalize your computing environment. Among the more than 100 scripts included are an interactive calculator, a spell checker, a disk backup utility, a weather tracker, and a web logfile analysis tool.

Book News Annotation:

Writing for the personal computer user with a Unix-based operating system, the author presents a "cookbook" of programming scripts that can be used to tweak the operating system, create system administration tools, work more efficiently with the Internet, and for other purposes. Some 101 scripts are included in all, ranging for a few lines to a few pages. Explanations of how the code works are included in order to encourage readers to start creating their own scripts or modify the ones in the book. The scripts are Bourne Shell scripts. Distributed by O'Reilly.
