More than 50 working shell scripts for both beginners and experts give Oracle professionals a fantastic head-start on automating their administration duties and are easily modifiable for any environment. Topics include the history of shells and shell scripting, detailed step-by-step instructions on building shell scripts, how to tell when things are working right, and how to effectively monitor the system for failures.

Very useful book for who have started there career in Oracle DBA field.
Jon has taken nice efforts to make understand Linux according to Oracle DBA perspective. Shell scripting also seems to be easy when you go through this book. And at the end you will also learn some useful and very helpful Oracle DBA scripts as well. Junior Oracle DBA must go for this book.

If you are a DBA who has just been assigned to manage a Unix-based system for the first time in your career: get this book. Forget all the (great) general Linux/Unix/shell scripting books for now. Don't even think the Oracle docs will teach you what you need to know. Oracle Shell Scripting: Linux and UNIX Programming for Oracle (Oracle In-Focus series) is what you need!
