I suggest a copy of the abs-guide.pdf should be on everyone's
desk/computer. Advanced Bash Scripting Guide.
Thanks for the reference. Perhaps it's worth pointing out that at 580
pages, this guide is really a full-fledged book.
One place I found it (i.e., the first Google hit) is at the Linux
Documentation Project: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/>. From
that page you can find a link to the PDF version (http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf>). However, given that at least
in some ways PostScript viewing is preferable to PDF viewing on Linux,
note that there's an unlinked PostScript version at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.ps.gz>. (Also keep in mind that
KGhostView will open gzip-ed PostScript files directly, so there's no
need to keep those largish PostScript files around.)
Lastly I'll mention that I'm fond of the Developer's Library (http://www.developers-library.com/>) book "Linux Shell Scripting with
Bash".
