Afterword

This marks the end of Wicked Cool Shell Scripts . Thank you for being part of this journey into the wild interior of shell scripting. I've really had a fun time writing and developing all of the scripts in this book, and it's significantly improved my Unix and Mac OS X working environment! I can only hope that this book has expanded your horizons similarly, both showing you the tremendous power and capability of the Unix shell, and offering you many ideas about basic algorithms and savvy ways to approach seemingly tough programming problems.

Please let me know how you liked the book, which scripts are your favorites, and which, if any, hiccupped on your particular version of Unix, Linux, or Mac OS X. You should also check in occasionally on the book's website for errata and new scripts, and you can even browse a library of scripts that were axed for the book but might still be interesting reading. Go to http://www.intuitive.com/wicked/ and you'll find everything you need to continue your journey toward becoming a Shell Script Maven.

Best regards,
Dave Taylor
