Bash FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

I was once motivated enough to write a guide on Bash scripting which I chose to call "The 10 Seconds Guide to Bash Scripting" which, if missed, you can read here. Even though many of you may challenge me on the time I claim is enough to read through the guide, I am sure you will find it useful.

Today I came across a collection of tips that are compiled into an FAQ which explain many questions related to Bash scripting. Considering that Bash shell is the default shell for all GNU/Linux distributions and it being bundled with other Unix OSes, it has in my opinion gained more credibility than the erstwhile Bourne shell (which btw is still the default shell for Solaris). The FAQ is maintained by a person named Greg and can be accessed here. There are altogether 75 questions followed by their answers. Aside from being informative, many of them are interesting as well.

While we are on the topic of Bash shell, you may also be interested in reading a list of the common Bash shell keyboard shortcuts.
