Bash cookbook
"Packed with examples and advice for everyone from shell beginners to advanced developers, bash Cookbook focuses strongly on practical remedies rather than theory. It offers many ways to automate routine tasks, and it provides scripting solutions to scores of common problems related to input/output, file manipulation, program execution, administrative tasks, and much more. Each recipe includes one or more code examples and a discussion of why the solution works."--Jacket
