Title: Great reference, but with some errors
Product review: This book is awesome. I am a command-line Unix geek by trade, but hadn't written a line of programming of any kind since BASIC in high school. I sat down with this book and, with the help of a few Google searches, was writing solid Korn Shell scripts in a week. With this book I was able to write an awk routine (my first one ever) that cut a job one of my co-workers was doing from 3 hours down to five minutes.I would recommend this as a must-have if you learn to do stuff by example. If you are looking for an O'Reilly-type desk reference, this is not your book.I have one MAJOR gripe about this book, the index is very sloppy for information contained in the last 1/4 of the book, it looks like the index didn't get updated right after and edit....
