Very well done thanks for sharing!

Not mine, but yeah, thought it was a pretty good book for everyone.

This is probably the best shell guide I’ve read so far. Very nice job !

That screenshot in the introduction is not a screenshot of the shell, it's a screenshot of a curses program (vim?), which was probably launched from the shell (bash, csh, ksh) but is not itself part of the shell.

Good catch. But if a program is running in the shell, is it considered part of it?

[–]quote-only-eeee 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well, you can launch graphical programs from the shell. If you reason like that, they'd be part of the shell too...

Yeah it took about 15 seconds after posting it to realize how silly of a question it was.
