That's the best BASH site I know if.

two comments:

first, if you just want a zillion examples of scripts (shell, perl, etc.), check out cameron simpson's repo at http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css. chances are, if you're trying to write a script, he's got something that's already close to it.

and second, you might consider avoiding bash-specific extensions and stick as closely as possible to POSIX-compliant shell features, to make sure your scripts are as universally portable as possible.

rday

p.s. from memory, you can get POSIX behaviour from bash with either of:

  1) using "bash --posix"
  2) just calling it by the name "sh"

but i'd check the docs to be sure.
