Hello all, I am looking for a good, comprehensive Linux CLI tutorial. There are a bunch of programmers here at work that develop PHP code all day on Linux servers but they haven't got the first clue about Linux CLI usage, file permissions, nothing. I need a good CLI/bash tutorial that walks them through the basics of CLI, file permissions, users, file management, etcetera but later on also includes more powerfull stuff like grep, sed, awk and basic bash scripting. All the stuff I found so far is either the real basics only, or one or two advanced things for people with prior CLI experience. Thanks in advance! |

Well, let's start with the basics: GNU/Linux Command-Line Tools Summary: http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/index.html Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html An oldie but goodie, The Linux Users Guide: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/user... In general, tldp.org has a bunch of good stuff. |

Thanks. That PDF from ibiblio looks quite good, even though it's a bit dated in places. |

> That PDF from ibiblio looks quite good... I printed that one out a long time ago, before it even got to it's current version. :) I still refer to it on occasion. |

@sander
Not sure exactly how this sits on your preferences, but a comprehensive tutorial on using the CLI can be found in chapters 4 thru 9 and scattered elsewhere in the Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition, http://rute.2038bug.com :
Ch 4 Basic Commands
Ch 5 Regular Expressions
Ch 6 Editing Text Files
Ch 7 Shell Scripting
Ch 8 Streams and sed -- The Stream Editor
Ch 9 Processes, Environment Variables
++ Other chapters ++
Chapter 11 'User Accounts and Ownerships' -- gives some decent coverage of Linux user management
Chapter 14. 'Permission and Modification Times' -- gives an accurate, albeit highly condensed coverage of file permissions
Chapter 20 'Advanced Shell Scripting' -- this chapter certainly has more than "one or two advanced things for people with prior CLI experience". |
