This book helps them regain some of the lost time spent creating and testing shell scripts, and guides readers through more than 150 much-needed and practical real-world examples.Because all scripts found in this book are POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface)-compliant, they are supported by all major shell variants, including Bash, Zsh and sh, among others. File conversion, system administration, and resource monitoring are just a few of the topics covered in this highly practical shell scripting reference.
