Cmmandline Fu[1] is a good place to start to see the possibilities; then, start forcing yourself to solve daily problems on the command line that you might either solve using a scripting language or solve by manual repetition. Working on the command line is just like writing any other software. You have to think about what you are trying to do, and decide how you will accomplish it. As you think "what do I need to do next", Google is your friend for finding the obscure command to accomplish the task. Repeat every working day until you aren't going to Google. 1. http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse
