Bourne / Bash Shell Scripting Resources
40hz:
If you don't want/need to restrict yourself to online and/or free resources, check out this book.
IMHO the single best $29 (via Amazon) you'll ever spend if you want to start working with the shell.
Combine it with a copy of the UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (4th Edition) (about $43 USD) and you'll have 85-90% of all the technical info you'll ever need to effectively work within the "nix" environment.

look through the start up scripts in /etc and see how they do what they do.

Sounds like a potentially useful source of real-world example code. Thanks for the tip :Thmbsup:

I see that bits of this book are available for preview via:
http://www.sobell.com/CR2/index.html
It looks like there are sample portions of the admin book as well via:
http://www.admin.com/
May be I'll have the opportunity to browse physical copies at a bookstore before too long.
Thanks for the suggestions :)

Very smart move doing that. Whenever possible I always try to eyeball a tech book before I plunk down cash. One thing I've learned - you can't always trust Amazon's reviews. Or go by what your friends think either! ;D :Thmbsup:

It's certainly challenging to decode whatever signal might be there sometimes :)
I appreciate their "Look Inside" feature when it's available -- in the current situation, that appears to be "yes" for the admin book and "no" for Sobell's book.
