I would like to thank my wife for helping me with all her efforts to finish this book. Thank you, Doaa, for being a part of that. Also, I would like to thank everyone at Packt for working with me to make sure the book is released. Last but not least, I'd like to thank Brian Fox, the author of the bash shell, for creating such an awesome piece of software; without it, such a book would not exist.
