Ask HN: Terminal Literature?
3 points by jobeirne on June 28, 2008 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Anyone know of any especially good pieces of literature on some advanced uses of the unix command line, covering stuff like piping, various shortcuts, and other novel tricks? I really dug "Command Line Kungfu" which was posted a while back.



I went through Classic Shell Scripting by Arnold Robbins and Nelson HF Beebe (O'Reilly) recently. It was a pretty solid coverage that highlighted portability issues and canonical uses of the shell. I don't know if you'd call it advanced, though.


Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, it now has a 2nd edition.
