Bourne / Bash Shell Scripting Resources

[Edvard]

Ooh, I had forgotten about that site... Thanks!
My other favorite scripting resource is the most excellent Rob Van der Woude pages, even though there's no Bash love there

Still, thanks for reminding me about Shelldorado!

Thanks for this link.  About to take a look

Don't know if you've seen this already, but the following from Shelldorado was new to me:

By the way, did you know that the command line

    $ ls -bart -simpson -is -cool

is a valid usage for the SOLARIS ls command?

It's actually functionally equivalent to "ls -bartsimponcl" because all those letters are simply arguments that can be passed to the ls command and splitting the arg line and repeating letters doesn't affect the operation.

Still; quite amusing.
