I can recommend the book A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors and Shell Programming.
http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Commands-Editors-Programming/dp/013147...
It can be had for $30 and it is a big book. It has lots of demos and examples. While it will not necessarily tell you what tool would be best for a particular job it will tell you how to use the tool well.
The first chapter is a bit basic and they go into a lot (maybe too much) detail on the different editors it has good information. They also have a quick list of the main command line utilities with a single line of what they do.
It is like having simplified man pages with some extra examples but in book form.

I would very much appreciate any suggestions on any online resources, or even a decent book to purchase with the focus of brushing up on Linux command line tools. The focus is on troubleshooting type commands, adding users from command line and so forth.
