shell scripts

Ask Dave Taylor, author of Wicked Cool Shell Scripts, what his favorite script is from his book of over 101 script examples, and his hangman game comes to mind. "Mostly because it took me an amazing amount of time to figure out how to write hangman in 50 lines." Second is his script that helps you manage the password file on an Apache Web server. In this interview, Dave talks about his book, Wicked Cool Shell Scripts, which won LinuxWorld Magazine's award for Best Scripting Book Ever.
