Linux is growing day by day, not only on servers but in desktop environments too. We designed this book for beginners to intermediate experts on shell scripting. It is for Linux administrators and users today looking for more and more practical examples along with more theoretical knowledge. This book will take readers through practical examples for clarity of each of the concepts by going through each line of the script. There are lots of examples that anyone can read and execute on their system and get to see the execution of scripts. You don’t have to be an expert. Most administrators are looking for more automation and run complex queries to save time and to increase productivity. Shell is the only way to get accomplished at this.
