Advanced Shell Script Programming for Business Continuity and Data Center Automation: Part 1: The Template

This series of books is intended to provide a system administrator with advanced shell scripting knowledge and capabilities. Since these books will concentrate on "Advanced" level concepts, it is assumed the reader is already familiar with one or more shell scripting languages, Therefore language syntax is not a major focus, the primary focus is technique and style. In this first book, a shell scripting template that can be used with a single shell script interpreter or with multiple interpreters is provided and discussed in depth. The relationship between system administration and business continuity and data center automation is also discussed in depth.
