Shell Scripting: Part 2
Today brought more advanced shell scripting as I wrangled with administering users on the new site. This brought me in contact with learning Sed and Awk, as well as some more complicated bash tutorials.
So far I’m finding shell scripting an easy, yet powerful, mechanism for automating web site administration. I’m currently writing a mini-tutorial on what I’m setting up, in case anyone else is interested in creating a development system for web design on their own server.

*nix Shell Scripting Tutorial
I had to come up with a way to run a bunch of rsync commands, and the only shell scripts I’ve ever really made have been extremely simple (just for running wine commands mostly). Since I needed to make what amounted to a small program for OpenBSD, I headed to Google and found a great shell scripting site:

It looks like some other sites have this information as well, but this site was closest to the top without being bombarded with ads.
