Discover how to solve real-world system administration problems with this collection of end-to-end shell scripts. This comprehensive book takes you step-by-step through the process of writing shell scripts to solve real-world Unix problems and tasks. Each chapter begins by presenting a typical Unix challenge that you’ll most likely experience at your job. With each challenge, you’ll learn how to identify a specific goal and start the shell script by defining the correct command syntax to solve the problem.
