[kamal_9]

HI
Everybody iam new to itrc.Can any one suggest me which book or document for shell scripting

[Vijaya Kumar_3 · Accepted solution]

Hi Kamal,

There are many resources available in the internet.

If you dont have any programmin' experience, you can Start with Unix Shell Programming by great YPK (Yashvant P Kanetkar) Book (India).

Apart from that, to learn specific to Korn Shell Scripting, there is a great Oreilly book available in the market.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Look at docs.hp.com for online reading.

Shell programming is included in "shell's: User guide".

Have a look at the POSIX shell man page.

You can also have a look at the "POSIX and Korn Shell" section in the following manual:

There are two good basic chapters to get you started on shell scripting in Rahman's book

it's a bit out of spectrum, but you may want to try the linux documentation project.

here is a link to the PDF of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide". bash is available for HPUX, Lunix and Windows
