Shell Programming in Unix, Linux and OS X

by Stephen G. Kochan, Patrick Wood

Shell Programming in Unix, Linux and OS X is a thoroughly updated revision of Kochan and Wood's classic Unix Shell Programming tutorial. Following the methodology of the original text, the book focuses on the POSIX standard shell, and teaches you how to develop programs in this useful programming environment, taking full advantage of the underlying power of Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
After a quick review of Unix utilities, the book's authors take you step-by-step through the process of building shell scripts, debugging them, and understanding how they work within the shell's environment. All major features of the shell are covered, and the large number of practical examples make it easy for you to build shell scripts for your particular applications. The book also describes the major features of the Korn and Bash shells.

The "programming" here is just scripting. And the "shell programming" is just basic shell introduction, like what 'pwd' would do. Finally, the content is nothing that Google can't answer better. And having a human write help of a lesser value than an automated system is not a good sign.

This is a good book for anyone wants to know shell programming with a little computer programming background. You don't need to be an expert to read through the book. Just follow the examples in the book and try them yourself. A summary in the end of the book works as a nice reference.

作为入门书籍来看的。
刚觉shell的语法知识点太多，但总算入了门，能看懂一些脚本程序了
