Category:Shell Scripts

The Shell Scripts category lists both pages regarding specific shell scrips, as well as pages regarding specific shells, or shell scripts in general. The latter pages are recommend to also carry a Category:Programming Languages tag. Specific shells include sh, bash, tcsh and zsh.

Pages regarding specific command line tools should go in Category:Unix Tools. So, information on glob should go here, while information regarding regular expressions should go in Category:Unix Tools. In case of doubt, it is always possible to put a page in both categories.
