Key benefits

  • Learn how to use the command line and write and debug Linux Shell scripts
  • Automate complex repetitive tasks and backups, and learn networking and security
  • A practical approach to system administration, and virtual machine and software management

Description

Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Techniques begins by taking you through the basics of the shell and command-line utilities. You’ll start by exploring shell commands for file, directory, service, package, and process management. Next, you’ll learn about networking - network, firewall and DNS client configuration, ssh, scp, rsync, and vsftpd, as well as some network troubleshooting tools. You’ll also focus on using the command line to find and manipulate text content, via commands such as cut, egrep, and sed. As you progress, you'll learn how to use shell scripting. You’ll understand the basics - input and output, along with various programming concepts such as loops, variables, arguments, functions, and arrays. Later, you’ll learn about shell script interaction and troubleshooting, before covering a wide range of examples of complete shell scripts, varying from network and firewall configuration, through to backup and concepts for creating live environments. This includes examples of performing scripted virtual machine installation and administration, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack provisioning and bulk user creation for testing environments. By the end of this Linux book, you’ll have gained the knowledge and confidence you need to use shell and command-line scripts.

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone looking to learn about Linux administration via CLI and scripting. Those with no Linux command-line interface (CLI) experience will benefit from it by learning from scratch.

What you will learn

  • Get an introduction to the command line, text editors, and shell scripting
  • Focus on regular expressions, file handling, and automating complex tasks
  • Automate common administrative tasks
  • Become well-versed with networking and system security scripting
  • Get to grips with repository management and network-based file synchronization

The book reads easily; the concepts are communicated to you in a clear and casual way as if someone is sitting with you and talking about them. I needed to get a better idea of what was possible and learn how to write decent bash scripts. Excellent book... looking forward to applying what I just learned.

A very nice book to get started on shell scripting. Very useful for people that are starting a career in system administration and DevOps. Very good complement to books to start learning how to manage linux systems.The book is well structured and covers the basics throughly, creating a good foundation to feel comfortable with shell scripting and starting on programming for system administration. It extends to several good examples on how to apply knwoledge to common daily tasks.I recommend it.

The binding of the book is poorly done. Some pages are printed skewed, others are a different size. Returning this one and going to re-order as the actual content seems good so far. This is one of those books I need a hard copy of to help learn/retain otherwise I would go for the electronic version.Update : received a replacement book which is in perfect condition. Updated my rating from 2 to 4 stars. I still need to get much deeper into the content to determine if its 5 star worthy.
