What a great article. Even though I've picked up a lot of this through osmosis, I wish I'd read such a clear and lucid primer of Unix basics (including the author's other articles on the subject) a few years ago.

A good follow-up to read, from the same person, is his article on relational shell programming: http://matt.might.net/articles/sql-in-the-shell/

Thanks for the kind words.

The comment on jq (which I'd never seen) had me thinking about the relational shell programming again.

One could implement a remarkably robust relational DB at the shell with jq.
