Reference book for bash command line

[tablepc (Pat Kelly)]

This is here because none of the other channels seemed better for this.

My last deep learning experience with a command line was using VMS on a VAX. Ya, I know, that’s a while ago.

Since I started using Fedora (F16 ago) I have been learning bits and pieces of the BASH commands by searching on line and the MAN pages as needs came up. I would appreciate it if I could get some recommendations for good books (paper preferred) people have had experience with. I am looking for a book that’s like a text book that tells about how bash works, how commands are used, and how they can be used together. I would also like a book that’s good as a quick reference that I can use to look up something quickly. Recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Other than its man page and reference manual on GNU website (mentioned above), I like those 2 wikis:

• BashGuide - Greg's Wiki

• https://wiki.bash-hackers.org/

For a printed book:

• http://www.linuxcommand.org/
