Good Bash/Scripting book?
Can someone suggest a good scripting book? I've looked over the FreeBSD site, but couldn't find anything on scripting. A book with lots of examples would be nice.

That should cover everything you need for Bash and derivative shells. It's actually a textbook recommend for a course, available freely. There is a pdf version available for free. I've gotten through the first ten chappters, and it's very well written with tons of examples.

Also check Shell Scripting Primer from Apple:

I have a page with a few links, most of which I like better than the ldp ones.
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaiju...scripting.html As for books, the Sams Teach Yourself Shell Scripting in 24 hours is not bad as well as the Unix Shell Programming (3rd edition--the 4th edition is by someone else and apparently not as good). The 3rd edition is here http://www.amazon.com/Unix-Shell-Pro...8713405&sr=8-3

There is a review of a Bash Cookbook at Slashdot: http://books.slashdot.org/books/08/08/13/137246.shtml
I learnt a lot of my scripting by studying the FreeBSD and OpenBSD rc start up scripts.
