This is a good book that really hasn't aged well. The second edition, which I read, was released in 2015.

The original scripts were so useful and well-written that it seems that many have been adopted into modern Linux distribution versions, such as the 'killall' scsript.

I went through this whole book, and several scripts didn't work out of the box because the latest versions of the utilities they were calling didn't accept the same parameters and/or had different functionality.

However, I did manage to get 5-6 scripts out of it that I have added to my personal script collection.

Aside of their current usefulness, the scripts do show interesting and well-written approaches to shellscript development, so the book is still worth reading.
