Great book for beginngers as well as advanced users
I have been working with shells since about 5 years, and besides the "man" pages, this book has been the only one I ever used when writing shell scripts.I rarely comment on books, but I really felt this one needs my appreciation. The highlights of this book in my opinion are:
- a large and very well index--it really helps you finding your answer quickly
- very good introduction to shells and environments
- very good introduction to regular expressions
- very good introductions to the very important utilities grep, sed, and awk
- detailed sections with many examples for interactive usage of shells as well as programming shell scripts For many people the sections on the c shell, korn shell and TC shell may seem unnecessary, since (I assume) the majority is using the bash shell. However, some things in those sections apply to the bash shell as well, and besides that one never knows which shell one has to work with one day--so by having it all in one book, you should be set. Last but not least I would like to add that there is no need for reading this book from start to finish, you can just jumpt right into any section, as I have always done ;) Get this book if you want a great all-round book on shells, and should you still get stuck, type "man ..."

Excellente!!! Great book!!!
I would recommend this book to each and every individual who is planning to learn Shell Scripting, AWK, GREP and SED. This is the book for learning these tools. I tried 3 different books but this book has helped me the most in not only clearing my concepts but making me almost an expert in these tools.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOK!!!

thorough treatment from the beginning
I've looked at a lot of books about UNIX as a beginner in shell programming, and have found none so helpful as this one. Clear, thorough, well written; useful appendices.
