Sorry for the off topic post. Does anyone know of a really good book
that covers writing scripts ?
Preferably this book will have lots of examples and covers some of the
more esoteric and hidden stuff.
Is this one any good ?
http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Shell-Script-Programming-Meadors/dp/0619159200
And no, I don't want to Perl for this stuff.
Thanks.
Hi Kim,
well, it's not exactly a book, but the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide
[http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/] is an _amazing_ resource for Bash
shell programming IMHO. It does have lots of examples and covers from
basic to (really) esoteric stuff. You might give it a try since it's
free and online ;-)
