Bash Functions & Scripts For Admins

Dozens of Bash functions and scripts for Linux administrators along with a thorough analysis of each one from a programmers perspective.

These are the same scripts our clients have used for over a decade. The scripts rely on our function library that was developed specifically to support the scripts and to allow for code reuse. As networking and security consultants since the dawn of the PC era, we developed and refined our solutions continuously as new features were added to Bash.

Bash has many "dark corners" and a large section of the book covers "Bashisms" that a script writer needs to know about. It also covers relatively undocumented features that allow Bash to do things few know about.
