Chapter 17. Sensational Unix Tricks
Chapter Contents |
Throughout this book, we’ve given you Unix building blocks—individual Unix commands, scripting techniques, and other insights that you can use individually or combine with each other. In this chapter, we’ll show you some clever things to do with Unix. You might consider this an “advanced” chapter, but most of the things we’ll show you here are simply combinations of things you’ve already learned about in earlier chapters.
