1. "Essential System Administration" by Aeleen (sp.?) Frisch
2. "TCP/IP Network Administration" by Craig Hunt
3. "Learning Perl", by Randal Schwartz (useful for NT sys admins too, since there is a Perl port to Windows)
4. "Sed and Awk" by <don't remember correctly, but probably Arnold Robbins>
These are all published by O'Reilly and are available in inexpensive Indian editions.
5. "The UNIX Programming Environment" by Kernighan & Pike, Prentice-Hall India - a classic! Teaches scripting in detail - was my first UNIX book, as a matter of fact.
6. man bash, man grep, man awk, man sed
7. info gawk, info sed
8. http://linuxdoc.org - check the SAG, NAG, HOWTO's etc.
9. man/ perldoc perl - will provide a complete listing of online perl documentation
HTH,
Krishnan

Add to this Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E. F. Friedl. Don't know how any Sysadmin can get by without using regexes.
While on the topic, I will be giving an ACM lecture on Regular Expressions on Friday 20th July at NCST. Hope this is ample advance notice.

Unfortunately, the Friedl book is a US edition and costs over $30. However, "Learning Perl" provides a good introduction to regexes, and "Programming Perl" follows up. I wanted to buy the Friedl book a couple of years ago, but was put off by the price, especially when there were enough alternative references on regexex. Actually, I've been trying to persuade Akbar of SPD/ Computer Bookshop to publish the Friedl book as an Indian edition, which he says he will if there is sufficient demand.

Quite.

I'll be there.
