Me and Bash – The Bourne-Again SHell

Bash has been around since pre-historic times, at least before GNU/Linux’s first release in 1991. In this article I’ll present how i used this powerful tool and some of the links I’ve used to solve some common problems. My first personal encounter with Bash was in 1993. This was two years before Microsoft Windows 95 was released and Windows 3.1 was just a bad joke. The Software Development Company I was working for was using SCO Unix running on i486 systems to power Kiosks for displaying, printing and selling sheet music.
