I've found some basic examples but they don't do anything useful and I'm interested in finding out how powerful shell scripting can be. What kind of things can I do? I'm eager to learn!

What kind of things can I do?
Shell scripts are used as "glue" between applications, so I think it's easier to ask what you can't do ;-p

Code:

function help() { echo "Bash scripting guides:

Another good tutorial that's a little more newbie-friendly:
