5.0 out of 5 stars worth its weight in gold!
This book is essential for a unix system administrator student or one who is just starting out. It has the most complete and thorough coverage of daily system routines such as cron and job control. I have not been able to find such coverage of process handling in any of my several system administration books. I have read a few books on shell scripting but this one covers...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for Total Beginners Only
I was disappointed in this book. Most of the book covers things that directly relate to Unix, and not necessarily to korn shell programming. However, if you are new to unix and/or new to korn shell scripting then this should be a good book for you.

This review is from: Korn Shell Programming by Example (Paperback)
This book is essential for a unix system administrator student or one who is just starting out. It has the most complete and thorough coverage of daily system routines such as cron and job control. I have not been able to find such coverage of process handling in any of my several system administration books. I have read a few books on shell scripting but this one covers not only how to script but a great deal of knowledge surrounding shell scripting on a daily system administration practical basis. If you want a great reference tool, buy this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, November 16, 2006
This review is from: Korn Shell Programming by Example (Paperback)
This book provides an overview of UNIX-LINUX commands. There are not a lot of complete ksh scripts. Korn shell users might want to also consider "Korn Shell: Programs for Your Survival at Work" by Larry L. Smith. Some of the examples in Randal K. Michael's "Mastering UNIX Shell Scripting" are also helpful.
