Hi,

'Learning the korn shell' and 'sed & awk' (2nd edition) by o'reilly to begin with.
also Programming perl by o'reilly would be a good choise.

Hi:

I like this one:

UNIX Shell Programming" by Lowell Jay Arthur & Ted Burns, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The book is divided into sections for the novice, the intermediate user and the experienced.

Another useful guide for beginners is the HP "Shells User's Guide" which is free, here:

Take a look at this zip file I am sending you. I have put in there about 60 sites that I have found for useful information on scripting including examples.

Good luck.

The book that taught me shell scripting is _Unix Shell Scripting_, Hayden Books (c) 1990 by Kochan & Wood.

Its an oldie but a goodie, I have worn it out and had to have the covers laminated and re-attached. Its here right next to the keyboard as I write this.

If you can get through the first 8 chapters, then follow up with the unit on the Korn shell, you'll be able to call yourself an ace shell scripter.
