Hi,
Lately the books I've looked at tell how to do work on a Unix system in a GUI 
environment. Does anyone have guidance about what I can read to do tasks from 
the command line? Here's a partial list. I don't know what else I may need. I'd 
be fine with instructions on a shell script to combine stuff if necessary or 
whatever.

Download a compressed tar file from the web.
Unpack and untar it so that it goes into a folder.
Use MySQL to create a database.
Back up a MySQL database regularly. I want to make this incremental backups so 
I don't have to totally restore, but can roll back to a particular day, as in 
just bring back everything since yesterday.
Back up files or folders regularly Into a compressed tar archive
Restore a MySQL database if necessary.
Restore files or folders regularly.
Run a PHP file using cron on a schedule.
Make small edits to the Apache configuration files or other files as needed.
Delete backed up files or incremental database files after a certain time 
period to save space.

That's all I know of so far.

Thanks.
