Korn Shell Quick Reference Guide
It's quite hard to find a concise reference guide for the Korn Shell nowadays, so you may be eager to have a look at this one. The size of the book is perfectly well suited for being used as a quick desktop reference. The booklet is very useful to be sure. It's much easier to lookup something here than browsing through long manual pages. This is especially true if you know what you're looking for. A definitive drawback is the complete lack of an index. If you're looking for something specific most of the time you end up thumbing through the whole thing. The Reference Guide is quite complete. Eventually you will nearly always be able to find what you are looking for and a great deal more. The complete shell script examples at the end of the book are very helpful. If you don't find something in the reference part it is at least somewhere in the examples. There aren't many of them out there, but those included are really helpful.
