Quick and Dirty Bash

by Eli Billauer

Abstract

This lecture is a quick and informal guide to scripts and sophisticated commands in Bash. The aim is to supply the listener with tools to use the command-line interface as the strong tool that it is, as well as to write real-life scripts.

Rather than explaining the syntax formally, it will be demonstrated in many small examples, showing the use and abuse of Bash. The subjects that were chosen for this lecture are those that the lecturer himself needed for his own tasks.
