It is as easy as to follow as this type of a book can be. It is detailed and accurate. For the most part all topics are covered before they are used: only a couple of exceptions were noted and they were minor with one being covered in the next section.The information is presented clearly with ample examples and explanations. The book is functional and practical. It also teaches a lot of commands that you probably were not aware of. With that knowledge the man pages become that much more useful.If you want to administer a LAMP server or a 'NIX network, a lot of what you need to know is with respect to being able to do it from the command line or using scripts is in this book. I personally would never use scripts to partition drives but for doing cron jobs, checking file permissions, getting hardware info, checking and setting environmental variables, etc., this book covers the basics of how to get desired result.I find that it is necessary to use the command line sometimes and the GUI at other times and sometimes both to get the results needed. For instance when moving the default data directory for a MySQL install to a separate drive, the easy button is to copy over the defaults directories to the new drive. Have done several installs like this with varying distros and regardless of what flags I set, or whether using a drag and drop or the command line, the permissions always get changed in the sub directories. Theory this and that, haven't found a way to make it happen in the real world. Have found using the command line to list full permissions change individual permissions and using two open terminals to compare file by file the permissions and changing the root directories using nautilus is the best/fastest way to get 100% first go positive results. Yes an active gnome install does eat 10% of resources, you can see it using top, also covered in the book, but it can be turned off so it is not important. You also have to edit config files containing environmental variables.This book covers the tools required to do so. It is my reference book of choice for command line issues. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Will get you started. *by J***2 on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2012* Overall this book will give you a nice grasp of the CLI and how things work. It helped me a ton and i still reference it from time to time.If you are getting this book solely for shell scripting, a few topics are either not mentioned or touched on lightly. A example is math, for floating point math they use `bc`, a external command that may not be installed by default. which is a nice tool and will get the job done, but they show you a few good examples of how to use it then briefly talk about the (( )) internal command(later on in the book) which can do the same thing with less effort. Some other topics you won't see is parameter expansion, why [[ should be used over [ (test) in most cases, command grouping, subshell execution & process substitution. Finding information on any of those aren't hard, just not in the book. That plus the typos, some of which may prevent the command from executing correctly, prevents me from giving five stars.I would and have recommended the book to others. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars An OK book. *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2012* I am taking some Linux classes in school. I purchased this because I struggle a lot with Bash scripting and I wanted to supplement my text books with a book that focused on scripting.The book itself is easy enough to follow and has does a good job of explaining the various commands. Where it falls short though are the amount of sample scripts. As I said above I struggle with scripting. I have no issues at all getting around in the terminal but I don't think my brain is wired correctly to ever be proficient in writing scripts. I wish it gave more than one example for the sample scripts. The way I learn is by seeing various scripts and seeing how they perform, but when the book only gives one example of how to use a variable I believe it falls short of my needs. I wish there would be three or for different examples.If you are a fast learner and have a natural talent for scripting then this may be the right book for you. If you are like me and need to be shown several different examples of how to use different commands and options then this will not meet your needs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/12528330-linux-command-line-and-shell-scripting-bible-second-edition-2nd](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/12528330-linux-command-line-and-shell-scripting-bible-second-edition-2nd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
