Mandarin,
It would help if you chose a version of UNIX. Yes, there are generic unix books. but flavors make it more specific.
I will give you a few books, just to get you started.
"UNIX in a Nutshell" By O'Reilly... good general book with most all commands.
"UNIX Sytem Administration Handbook" 2nd ed or 3rd ed out now... by Nemeth/Snyder/Seebass/Hein... aka "the red book" ... I think the 3rd ed is purple cover.
"Unix Hints and Hacks" by Waingrow... and oldie but offers neat tips and tricks...

Gurus,
I am looking for a book on Awk programming.
A quick Google search gave me Amazon.com: The AWK Programming Language (9780201079814): Alfred V. Aho, Brian W. Kernighan, Peter J. Weinberger: Books by Alfred Aho.
Is there anything other than that? Any advice?
Thanks.
