Linux Shell Scripting Cookbook

Is your page the same ?

Yes, it is [member=411]bitsnpcs[/member]  Btw, I tried the example and it gave me an error just like you said, but copying/pasting right from the book into the terminal does work. Check it out



I don't know why but it worked, so I guess that rather than being an error in the book there's something we're not doing or we're doing it wrong.

EDIT: I just found out what the problem was: we were using the " ' " symbol rather than " ` " as in the example. I noticed after running it again using the up arrow, since I copied/pasted the whole thing, I thought it should work that way and it did so it's no an error from the book. Thank you for this great idea about creating a thread for the books.
