Learning the bash Shell
by Cameron Newham & Bill Rosenblatt

The following errata were *corrected* in the 3/06 reprint:

Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem




(2)  3rd Point in the Section "What Is a Shell?";
"(output to the file phonelist.sorted)" previously had a space between "phone" and "list.sorted".

It  NOW READS  "phonelist.sorted".



(47)  first example;
$ fc -l cp > lastcommands$ vi lastcommands$ source lastcommands

NOW READS:
$ fc -l cp > lastcommands
$ vi lastcommands
$ source lastcommands



(63)  2nd example line in the section "Variables and Quoting";
$ fred='Four spaces between these words.'

previously had only a single space between "these" and "words".  It NOW HAS four, as the
output of the

echo "$fred"

statement on the next page shows.



(87)  5th paragraph, 3rd line of code sample;
echo "alice: $*"

NOW READS:
echo "alice: $@"


{144}  Middle of the page;
#Process the input files
for filename in "$*"; do

NOW READS:
#Process the input files
for filename in "$@"; do



(223)  second listing (right after "For example:") and third listing (right after 
"listings that look like this:");
Both examples previously had .ps8 that shouldn't be there and should have had newlines after the command (in bold).  This HAS BEEN CORRECTED.

Also, there was previously an extra "x"; xxtrace  NOW READS  xtrace.


(260)  second bullet point;
The script was missing some newlines.  The commands starting with "chown", "chmod" and
"/bin/grep"  NOW APPEAR on their own lines.
