I, typically, point people to the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide<http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/> . Although the title says 'Advanced', It has a good introduction to shell programming (who's, what's, why's...etc). It also has a great section on the 'Basics' of shell scripting. I reference this guide quite ofter. I hope this helps. -> Jake On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 3:19 PM, Mike Miller <mbmiller+l at gmail.com> wrote: > I have been doing this now and then for a long time, but resources on the > web are always changing and there may be lots of good new stuff.
