Features: This book provides a detailed introduction on how to write Shell scripts to solve practical UNIX problems and tasks encountered in daily life. It covers all UNIX versions, with a focus on AIX, Linux, HP-UX, and Solaris operating systems. Each chapter begins with a commonly encountered UNIX problem, and for each problem, a clear objective is defined. After understanding the objectives and command syntax, readers can create Shell scripts based on the commands. The book features a foundation-based approach, gradually incorporating more conditional logic into the solutions. Different issues related to complex programs are introduced in separate chapters. This book is intended for users who work with UNIX via the command line. The topics discussed primarily target UNIX professionals—programmers, system analysts, system operators, system administrators, and anyone seeking to advance in the technical support field.
