Chapter 12. End-User Tasks As Shell Scripts

You have seen a lot of smaller scripts and syntax up to now. Our examples have, of necessity, been small in scale and scope. Now we would like to show you a few larger (though not large) examples. They are meant to give you useful, real world examples of actual uses of shell scripts beyond just system administration tasks. We hope you find them useful or usable. More than that, we hope you learn something about bash by reading through them and maybe trying them yourself or even tweaking them for your own use.
