Second Edition.
Intermediate Level Users.
Includes CD-ROM.
By its very nature, Unix is a "power tools" environment. This book and its accompanying CD-ROM contains literally thousands of tips, scripts, and techniques that make using Unix easier, more effective, and even more fun. It also provides powerful freely available programs that add even more flexibility to the standard Unix command set. Every script and program is available on disc, so you can add it right to your own set of Power Tools. If you use any of the most common Unix platforms, you don't need to build the software, since it comes precompiled for Solaris, SunOS, Digital Unix, IBM AIX, HP/UX, Linux Intel, and SCO Unix.
This new edition collects the advice of Unix experts, with coverage slanted more toward Posix utilities, including the GNU versions. The bash and tcsh shells have greater coverage than the first edition, but the emphasis is still on the core concepts of sh and csh that will help you use all Unix shells. The programs from the first edition have also been updated, with more scripts and programs, and literally hundreds of readers' changes and suggestions.
