Script writing help

This group covers a very large amount of different problems and sometimes a suggestion is made to write a script to do the required action. My question is: What are the resources the more experienced users use to help them write and debug their scripts? I know that typing 'Linux scripting' on Google will give me some results but I wondered if there were ones specific to SuSE or if all Linux scripts can be used across most distributions. -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
