[PLUG] Unix/Windows tip: Piping and command line re-direction...

[Fred Stluka <fred@bristle.com>]

PLUGgers,

For those of you not on my Unix tips mailing list, you may enjoy
this series on piping and command line redirection.

Let me know if you want to be added to my Unix/Linux tips mailing
list, or any of my other lists.  See:
   http://bristle.com/invite.htm

Also, I could pretty easily turn some of my series of tips into
talks at PLUG meetings.  Each of these could be a talk or a
lightning talks:
- The Help System (apropos, whatis, man, info, whereis, which,
 where, find, locate)
- Piping and Command Line redirection
- Aliases
- Shell script basics
- C shell variables
- Some useful aliases and scripts I've written (dirr, dubig,
 promptloop,
- Startup files for various shells
- Setting cdpath in various shells
- Unix flavors and shells
- Unix security (logwatch, fail2ban, tripwire, port knocking, su
 sudo, ssh, etc.)
Interested?

Anyhow, see the piping and command line redirection tips, and links
to many more, below.  Any I missed or got wrong?

Unix and Windows command line users,

It's been 8 years since I sent out my series of tips on piping and
input/output redirection in Unix and Windows.  I was just showing 
some of them to a colleague recently and thought it was time to 
send a reminder to this list, especially for those of you who weren't 
on the list 8 years ago.  See the message below.

Anyone know of any I missed or got wrong?

Enjoy!

Hunter (and team),

Since we discussed the Unix piping "tee" command yesterday, you may
appreciate the tip I wrote on it back in 2002:
   http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix.htm#tee

Also, be aware of backticks (`), not apostrophe ('), as a way to
insert the output of one command into the command line params of
another (not into stdin of the other).  See:
   http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix.htm#command_substitution

You make like my whole series on piping and redirection, for Unix
and Windows:
   http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix.htm#general_command_line_redirection
It starts with a table summarizing all the redirection options, then
detailed tips on all of them.

Anyone know of any I missed or got wrong?
