Some stuff I wrote

[Donovan Rebbechi <elflord@pegasus.rutgers.edu>]

Hi. 

I've been working on some UNIX tutorials recently. The tutorials are about:

procmail	(the man pages have mistakes and unreliable recipes, and
the documentation is too much for a beginner to sift through )

grep 		(the man page is woefully inadequate, and has mistakes.)

sed 		(the manpage is too concise to help anyone who doesn't know it
already)

and there's also a general tutorial, but it's in need of a big overhaul.
As to the style I've gone for, it is basically like this:
Examples,examples,examples. 
I do not "define" any syntax without giving an example.

This is possibly a little off topic for dev-help , but I thought you may
be interested. Recently, when I mentioned the procmail tutorial on the
redhat install list (lots of newbies), I was bombarded with emails wanting
to see it. 

So anyway, if you are interested in seeing example-heavy tutorials on the
"old style" unix stuff, check out

http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/grep.html
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/sed.html
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/procmail.html

I also plan to write about simpler things ( how to use tar to
make/extract an archive, how to break a file into 1.4MB chunks, etc )

Theres already basic stuff on 

http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/quickguide.html

but I am not really satisfied with these-- they will be given an
overhaul.
