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.

Spice Up Your Shell Prompt
Ever log into a box, or install a new distro, only to find that the prompt is either just a # or it only provides very minimalistic information? Well, it’s easy to change the look of the command prompt by editing the ~/.profile or other appropriate file.
