Master shell basics and Unix tools and discover easy commands to perform complex tasks with speed Key Features Learn why the Bash shell is widely used on Linux and iOS Explore advanced shell concepts, such as pipes and redirection Understand how to use Unix command-line tools as building blocks for different tasks Book Description The most basic interface to a computer - the command line - remains the most flexible and powerful way of processing data and performing and automating various day-to-day tasks. Command Line Fundamentals begins by exploring the basics, and then focuses on the most common tool, the Bash shell (which is standard on all Linux and iOS systems). As you make your way through the book, you'll explore the traditional Unix command-line programs as implemented by the GNU project. You'll also learn to use redirection and pipelines to assemble these programs to solve complex problems. By the end of this book, you'll have explored the basics of shell scripting, allowing you to easily and quickly automate tasks. What you will learn Use the Bash shell to run commands Utilize basic Unix utilities such as cat, tr, sort, and uniq Explore shell wildcards to manage groups of files Apply useful keyboard shortcuts in shell Employ redirection and pipes to process data Write both basic and advanced shell scripts to automate tasks Who this book is for Command Line Fundamentals is for programmers who use GUIs but want to understand how to use the command line to complete tasks faster.

Master the complexities of Bash shell scripting and unlock the power of shell for your enterprise About This Book Identify the high level steps such as verifying user input, using command lines and conditional statements in creating and executing simple shell scripts Create and edit dynamic shell scripts to manage complex and repetitive tasks Learn about scripting in Perl and programming in Python as a BASH scripting alternative with this practical, step-by-step guide Who This Book Is For Mastering Linux Shell Scripting has been written for Linux administrators who want to automate tasks in their daily lives, saving time and effort. You'll need to have command-line experience and be familiar with the tasks that you need to automate. What You Will Learn Use the type command to identify the order of command evaluation Create interactive scripts that prompt for user input Foster menu structures for operators with little command-line experience Develop scripts that dynamically edit web configuration files to produce a new virtual host Write scripts that use AWK to search and reports on log files Draft effective scripts using functions as building blocks, reducing maintenance and build time Make informed choices by comparing different script languages such as Perl and Python with BASH In Detail Shell scripting is a quick method to prototype a complex application or a problem by automating tasks when working on Linux-based systems. Using both simple one-line commands and command sequences complex problems can be solved with ease, from text processing to backing up sysadmin tools. In this book, you'll discover everything you need to know to master shell scripting and make informed choices about the elements you employ. Get to grips with the fundamentals of creating and running a script in normal mode, and in debug mode. Learn about various conditional statements' code snippets, and realize the power of repetition and loops in your shell script. Implement functions and edit files using the Stream Editor, script in Perl, program in Python ? as well as complete coverage of other scripting languages to ensure you can choose the best tool for your project. Style and approach The book will capture your attention and keep you engaged with the simplicity and clarity of each explanation. Every step is accompanied with screen captures so you can cross-check the results before moving on.

Learn how to effectively utilize the Bash shell in your programming. This refreshed and expanded third edition has been updated to Bash 5.2, and many scripts have been rewritten to make them more idiomatically Bash, taking better advantage of features specific to Bash. It is easy to read, understand, and will teach you how to get to grips with Bash programming without drowning you in pages and pages of syntax. Using this book you will be able to use the shell efficiently, make scripts run faster using expansion and external commands, and understand how to overcome many common mistakes that cause scripts to fail. This book is perfect for all beginning Linux and Unix system administrators who want to be in full control of their systems, and really get to grips with Bash programming. The Bash shell is a complete programming language, not merely a glue to combine external Linux commands. By taking full advantage of Shell internals, Shell programs can perform as snappily as utilities written in C or other compiled languages. And you will see how, without assuming UNIX lore, you can write professional Bash programs through standard programming techniques. You will: Use the Bash shell to write utilities and accomplish most programming tasks Replace many external commands with shell parameter expansion making scripts very fast Avoid many common mistakes that cause scripts to fail See how Bash’s read line and history libraries can save typing when getting user input Build shell scripts that get information from the Web.
