Beginner Bash: Must-Know Bash Commands
What seems hard is actually easy, while what looks like impossible is in fact hard.

The author seems to conflate "bash" and "shell". To complicate matters further, s/he also seems to believe that utilities like editors and find are functions of the shell.*
The kinds of things one should know about bash in particular would be something like:
* one might argue that in a busybox scenario much of the distinction is lost
The kinds of things one should know about bash in particular would be something like:
- bash-specific config file names and uses
- efficiency techniques like command-line editing and history, tab completion
- parameter/variable expansion
- the fact that bash is not everywhere, and it is good to know how to work with a vanilla Bourne shell, for portability purposes if nothing else.

droope - nice post, but could you maybe pick a thread for these? - not that I care about cluttering up the forum ... it would just be cool to have them together
fratermus - yes & now busybox even has a bash applet that will alias either hush or ash, but really bash scripting could include anything that can be scripted in bash - at least in the Linux standard base - although bash is not everywhere, that is when you change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash (I try to make things at least busybox compatible for sh, dash is too clunky - its hard to believe that ubuntu is still using dash when they have busybox)
