Product Description
With the expert techniques discussed in this book, Oracle database administrators can automate routine tasks to save time and money and better monitor the flow of work. Using shell scripts—an indispensable tool on UIX and Linux—any number of commands can be combined and executed either simultaneously or sequentially. More than 50 working shell scripts for both beginners and experts give Oracle professionals a fantastic head-start on automating their administration duties and are easily modifiable for any environment. Topics include the history of shells and shell scripting, detailed step-by-step instructions on building shell scripts, how to tell when things are working right, and how to effectively monitor the system for failures.

 Bought a wrong book. August 29, 2008

A so-so book. I bought it because I thought the author is Don Burleson. The book covers some very basic unix/dba daily routines which I think many companies already have those scripts/tricks in place. At least majority of the scripts are old school to me. If someone already been working on Oracle database administration in unix environment for a year or so, you don't need this book. Unix for Oracle DBA's from O'Reilly (authored by Don Burleson) does a better job and much lighter weight too. I just glanced through it couple times from cover to cover and it has been sitting straight on my bookshelf since then. The real disappointment was the price. It doesn't worth more than $30.

If you are working on Oracle products, you know problems can get complex and the internet will have million possible solutions, but if you are looking for just one that works you should own this book.
 Great Book August 15, 2008
Great book for the beginner or experienced shell scripter. Walks the user through the basic architecture of scripting, and demonstrates how to tie in SQL and RMAN commands into shell scripts.
Good book July 7, 2008
I found this to be a good book. It was a quick and easy read, I read the whole thing in about a week. The subject matter was a bit simpler then I had expected, yet it filled in some of the basic details that the more advanced books just skip over. This is was a great book for beginning unix shell scripting.
Oracle Shell Scripting May 9, 2008
My first impression of "Oracle Shell Scripting" was not a good one. After looking for the download site for the scripts in the book I was frustrated. The first chapters seemed a little rudimentary. This book is not a learn how to script book. The first five chapters give a scripting refresher. If you have no experience with korn, or bash scripting this is not the book to start with. If you have used Oracle on UNIX/Linux this books puts all those nuggets you have gathered over the years and some you have missed in one place. This book has scripts that you use in every day DBA work. This book deals with Oracle, sqlplus and UNIX/Linux scripting. I bought this book to help me transition from korn scripting in Solaris UNIX to bash scripting in Linux. I consider it worth the investment. Caution avoid the frustration of looking for the script download website. It is not in the book. You have to email the author to get the site. There is not enough information on using scripting with Oracle Application Server.
