discuss: Thread: Bash for sysadmins and power users

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Dear TLDPers,

After David Lawyer's recent remark (I think it was him, anyway) that we 
need as many docs on a given subject as possible, I started thinking it 
over and following the discussion, I saw the reason in this.

So I decided to polish a document that I have, until now primarily for 
personal use, called "Bash for Sysadmins and Power Users", and ask wether 
you like it enough to submit to TLDP.
It has been more or less reviewed, different parts by different people, 
and spell-checked for the largest part.  It follows the same basic 
principle as the Intro to Linux guide: exercises after each chapter.  It's 
12 chapters, I think it's for the guides section if you want to do 
anything with it.

For now, you can view this doc from

http://tille.soti.org/training/bash

An archive of the sources (in XML) is available from 

http://tille.soti.org/training/Bash.tar.bz2

The main reason why I wrote it is because I think the Bash HOWTO is 
insufficient, and the Bash Programming guide is too much of a reference 
guide, it frightens beginners.

Let me know if it is suitable for submission or not,

Tille.

I suggest you read my "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide," also hosted on the LPD,
before making a decision on this.

I've read it, and I refer to it in several of my documents.  So I can 
assure you no offence is meant, your guide is a good reference 
for Bash, but it is, imho, too much for what most people need.  

My background in this is as a Sun/Solaris teacher, I sometimes have to 
teach the Sun Korn Shell programming course.  And then people often ask, 
how about this or that feature in Bash, so I decided, for starters for my 
own reference, to make sort of a Bash equivalent of that course.  So it is 
more user oriented, and we leave out the "advanced" keyword.  

Let me make it very clear that I need the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide, 
this is meant to be an addition, or rather a prelude, and not something 
on the lines of I-can-do-this-better.  Except that it tries to be better 
than the Korn shell course, but with Bash, that's not all too difficult 
;-)

Best regards,

Tille.
