	Appendix B: Bash Shell Tips
		Bash is the default UNIX shell for RCS.
		A UNIX ``shell" is a program that acts as the interface between you and the UNIX operating system, prompting you for input, checking commands for syntax errors and, then executing them.
		Bash, which stands for the Bourne-Again Shell, was chosen because it incorporates many popular features of other shell programs, such as the Bourne shell (sh), the C shell (csh), and the Korn shell (ksh).

	UNIX shell differences and how to change your shell
		The UNIX shell is most people's main access to the UNIX operating system and as such any improvement to it can result in considerably more effective use of the system, and may even allow you to do things you couldn't do before.
		Into this shell they put several concepts which were new, (the majority of these being job control and aliasing) and managed to produce a shell that was much better for interactive use.
		Like the Korn shell bash was based upon the Bourne shells language and like the Korn shell, it also pinched features from the C shell and other operating systems (in my opinion it put them together better; guess which shell I use), but unlike the Korn shell it is free.

	UNIX Shell Scripting
		Otherwise, the shell would have to wait for the user to type the next command, and the user would have to wait for each command to complete before starting to type.
		A shell is a program that runs on most UNIX systems to provide a convenient interface to the operating system and file system.
		In Unix the shell is a program which prompts the user and directs the operating system to do what the user wants.

	Bash Reference Manual:
		A Unix shell is both a command interpreter, which provides the user interface to the rich set of GNU utilities, and a programming language, allowing these utilitites to be combined.
		All of the Bourne shell builtin commands are available in Bash, and the rules for evaluation and quoting are taken from the POSIX 1003.2 specification for the `standard' Unix shell.
		More complex shell commands are composed of simple commands arranged together in a variety of ways: in a pipeline in which the output of one command becomes the input of a second, in a loop or conditional construct, or in some other grouping.

	The C Shell
		Basically, the main function a shell performs is to read in from the terminal what one types, run the commands, and show the output of the commands.
		The C shell was written by Bill Joy at the University of California at Berkeley.
		Shell scripts are programs written in C shell.

		To run Alias properly and have access to all the UNIX shortcut commands and Course Ware files, there are several steps that you need to take to set-up your CoC account.

	Hamilton C shell Compatibility Guide
		In the UNIX C shell, only certain modifiers could be used on a given type of substitution and it is not possible to perform a search/replace that crossed word boundaries.
		The UNIX C shell allows only roughly 6K characters to be passed, depending on the revision level; this shell allows up to 32K to be passed to a child process, the kernel limit on Windows.
		This was a trick in the Berkeley C shell to embed comments into the middle of a statement.

	The Shell
		Your login shell is also a process, created for you upon logging in and existing until you logout.
		A pipe is used by the shell to connect the stdout of one command directly to the stdin of another command.
		A number of shell variables are predefined by the shell itself or inherited from the system environment.

		The Alias Batch File Translator is a command line invocation of Alias that allows unattended data file translation.
		Using this interface to Alias in a UNIX shell script allows for multiple file translations to occur unattended, perhaps in an overnight batch job.
		The filenames are either absolute UNIX path names, or are the names of files that can be found in the wire directory of the default project, or the project specified with the -p option.

	Shell Programming
		Ch Shell (ch) is a C compatible shell; C Shell (csh) is a C-like shell.
		The language syntax of conventional Windows MS-DOS and Unix shells such as Bourne shell, C shell, and Korn shell are awkward.
		Ch is a true VHLL for programming while it retains the shell features such as command-line editing, history, aliases etc. When Ch is used in a single command mode, most features of Ch are the same as conventional Unix shells such as Bourne shell, C shell, and Korn shell, and MS-DOS shell in Windows.

		The Unix shell is a actually a user program that the kernel runs for you when you log in.
		The most common shells available on Unix systems are the Bourne Shell (sh), the C Shell (csh) and the Korn shell (ksh).
		The default shell for accounts is /bin/posix/sh, which is, for all practical purposes, the same as ksh.

	UNIX shell differences and how to change your shell (Monthly Posting)
		A brief history of UNIX shells Note, this history is just known to be slightly out of historical order, it is in the process of being corrected, but for the moment should be taken with a pinch of salt In the near beginning there was the Bourne shell /bin/sh (written by S. Bourne).
		The Korn shell became part of System V but had one major problem; unlike the rest of the UNIX shells it wasn't free, you had to pay ATandT for it.
		Deciding on a shell Which of the many shells you choose depends on many different things, here is what I consider to be the most important, you may think differently.

		The menu system helps you use UNIX without having to remember what all the commands are, but you need to know a few.
		The shell is called that because it "covers" the UNIX "kernel", the heart of the operating system.

	Getting Started in UNIX: Printing
		While UNIX command names tend to be very terse, the UNIX operating system is anything but.
		The basic UNIX command to check printer queues, and, incidentally, to list the names of the printers that the UNIX system knows about, is lpstat.
		So here's how to set a command alias in the Korn shell (see "What UNIX shell are you using?") which allows you to enter the command printers in Korn shell and have UNIX actually execute qchk -A.

	UNIX Bourne Shell Programming
		The first character of an alias name can be any printable character, but the remaining characters must be the same as any valid identifier.
		Therefore, for an alias to take effect the alias command has to be executed before the command which references the alias is read.
		Example: $alias list='ls -la' Now when you type in the command list, the alias will substitute the command ls -la for list; and the long listing will be displayed.

		This often involves having the shell execute unix utilities to perform part of the work the shell script needs to accomplish, and requires knowledge of these utilities, which isn't nominally in the scope of shell programming.
		The choice of shell is one which is available on all required platforms, and the syntax to be used is the smallest subset of all the variants of that shell on the target platforms.
		The degree to which your shell script needs to be portable has to be determined by you, or the requirements you've been given for the script.
